よくある間違い

In conditional clauses with 'ако', we typically use the present tense for the condition, not the future tense.

Wrong: Ако ще отида, ще се радвам.
正解: Ако отида, ще се радвам.

After 'за да', use the perfective aspect for the goal, not the imperfective.

Wrong: За да отивам в магазина.
正解: За да отида в магазина.

Similar to 'ако', time clauses with 'когато' require the present tense for future events.

Wrong: Когато ще дойдеш, обади се.
正解: Когато дойдеш, обади се.
