Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the imperfect subjunctive instead of the conditional for 'would'.
Correct: Use 'suministraría' (would supply), not 'suministrara' (if he/she supplied).
Why: The conditional expresses the result ('would do'), while the imperfect subjunctive often introduces the condition ('if...').
Mistake: Confusing conditional with future tense.
Correct: Use 'suministraría' for hypothetical 'would', and 'suministrará' for definite future 'will'.
Why: They have different meanings: possibility/hypothetical vs. certainty.
