Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using 'ir a + infinitive' instead of the simple future for probability.
Correct: While 'va a timar' means 'is going to swindle', 'timará' can also mean 'will probably swindle'.
Why: Both constructions indicate future actions, but the simple future often carries a nuance of probability or destiny.
Mistake: Confusing future endings with conditional endings.
Correct: Future endings are -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án; conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.
Why: The endings are similar but distinct, leading to confusion in pronunciation and spelling.
