Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the conditional for a definite future action.
Correct: For 'I will climb', use the future 'treparé', not the conditional 'treparía'.
Why: The conditional expresses uncertainty or hypothetical outcomes, not definite future events.
Mistake: Confusing conditional endings with future endings.
Correct: Future endings are -é, -ás, -á, -emos, -éis, -án. Conditional endings are -ía, -ías, -ía, -íamos, -íais, -ían.
Why: Both tenses use the infinitive as the stem, but the endings are different.
