Common Mistakes
Mistake: Using the present indicative instead of the future.
Correct: Use 'viraré' or 'virará' for future actions.
Why: The present tense is for current actions; the future tense is specifically for actions that will occur later.
Mistake: Forgetting the accent on the future endings for yo, tú, él/ella/usted, vosotros.
Correct: Forms like 'viraré', 'virarás', 'virará', 'viraréis' all need accents.
Why: These accents are part of the standard future tense endings and indicate the stress.
