Common Mistakes

• Mistake: Confusing conditional with future.

  Correct: Use 'transitaría' for hypotheticals ('would pass'), not 'transitará' ('will pass').

  Why: The conditional expresses hypothetical or polite situations, distinct from the certainty of the future tense.

• Mistake: Using the infinitive for polite requests.

  Correct: Use the conditional: '¿Transitaría usted por aquí?' is more polite than '¿Transitar usted por aquí?'.

  Why: The conditional softens requests, making them more polite and less like direct commands.
