| Errori comuni | Mixing up 'such' with 'so' — 'such' modifies nouns, while 'so' modifies adjectives., 'Such' is often overused, leading to awkward sentences., Using 'such' without 'a' or 'an' when needed. | 'Which' vs. 'what' confusion - 'which' is for limited choices., Omitting 'which' in questions – e.g., 'What book do you want?' instead of 'Which book?', Using 'which' with plural nouns without context – 'Which animals?' needs clarification. |
| Note d'uso | Used to emphasize a particular quality. Works well in writing and speaking but avoid in very formal settings where precision is needed. | Use 'which' when asking to specify one item from a defined set. Avoid using 'which' with totally open-ended questions where anything could apply. |
