Common Mistakes

  • Um estande estaria ótimo.

    Using 'estaria' (conditional of estar) changes the nuance; 'seria' expresses an inherent quality, while 'estaria' would imply a temporary state.

  • Um estande seria ótimas.

    The adjective must agree with the masculine singular noun 'estande'.

  • Estande seria ótimo.

    Do not omit the article; 'estande' needs the indefinite article in this construction.
