Common Mistakes
Mistake: Confusing conditional 'tosería' with imperfect 'tosía'.
Correct: Remember the conditional stem is the infinitive 'toser-': 'tosería'. The imperfect stem is 'tosí-': 'tosía'.
Why: Both forms end in '-ía' but have different stems and meanings.
Mistake: Using the future tense 'toserá' instead of conditional 'tosería' in hypothetical sentences.
Correct: In 'if' clauses referring to hypotheticals, use the conditional: 'Si tosería...' not 'Si toserá...'.
Why: The future tense talks about what *will* happen, while the conditional talks about what *would* happen.
