Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense 'ronda' instead of the future 'rondará' when talking about a future event.
Correct: Use the future tense for future events: 'Rondará mañana' (He will patrol tomorrow).

Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the 'a' in the future endings, e.g., 'rondara' instead of 'rondará'.
Correct: All future endings have an accent on the final vowel: 'rondaré', 'rondarás', 'rondará', 'rondaremos', 'rondaréis', 'rondarán'.
Why: The accent is necessary to mark the correct pronunciation and distinguish future forms from other tenses or moods.
