Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present tense ('sella') to indicate a future action.
Correct: For definite future actions, use the future tense: 'sellará'.
Why: While Spanish sometimes uses the present for near future, the future tense is clearer and more formal for future events.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the endings for 'yo', 'tú', 'él/ella/usted', and 'ellos/ellas/ustedes' forms, e.g., 'sellare' instead of 'sellará'.
Correct: The endings require accents: 'sellé', 'sellarás', 'sellará', 'sellarán'.
Why: The accents are part of the correct future tense endings and indicate stress.
