Errores comunes	Using 'comment' without an object, e.g. 'I will comment' instead of 'I will comment on it.', Confusing 'comment' with 'complement' that refers to something that completes., Using 'commentary' when a short remark is meant.	Confused with 'notate', which is more about musical or formal notation., Using 'note' as a verb incorrectly in some contexts., Overusing in contexts where 'memo' or 'message' would be clearer.	Confused with 'observance', which means a practice or ritual., Mistaking it for 'observations', which refers to multiple instances of observing., Using 'observation' as a verb; it’s only a noun.	Confused with 'remarkable', thinking they are interchangeable., Omitting the preposition when saying what the remark is about., Using 'remark' as a noun when it should be a verb.	'Statement' is often wrongly used as a verb., Confused with 'statements' when referring to multiple examples., Misunderstanding the context; it should not be used for casual opinions.
Notas de uso	Used often in discussions or written feedback. Avoid in formal reports where detailed analysis is needed; suitable for casual conversations.	Use 'note' when writing something down to remember or inform. It's more neutral than casual terms like 'jot down'. Avoid it in very formal reports.	Use 'observation' in both formal and informal contexts, like in scientific discussions or daily scenarios. Avoid using it when talking about feelings or opinions.	Used to describe comments made in formal or informal contexts. In formal settings, it's appropriate to use 'remark' to comment on speeches or articles. In informal contexts, it's less common.	Use 'statement' in both spoken and written contexts to convey information or opinions. It is appropriate in formal discussions and reporting but may feel overly formal in casual conversations.
