Частые ошибки	Using 'amount' with countable nouns, e.g., saying 'amount of apples' instead of 'number of apples'., Confusing 'amount' with 'number', as they are used for different types of nouns., Incorrectly using 'amount' in questions or negative forms without proper context.	Confused with 'weigh', which is only for weight., Using 'measured' incorrectly as an adjective instead of a verb., Mixing up 'measure' with 'metric' when discussing measurement systems.	Confused with 'some' when speaking., Using 'sum' as a verb; it's mainly a noun., Overgeneralizing to non-mathematical uses.	Confusing volume with 'amount' when discussing quantity in general., Using it incorrectly as a verb instead of the noun form., Saying 'high volume' when referring to low sound levels.
Заметки по употреблению	Used for uncountable nouns (like water or time) rather than countable nouns (like apples or books). Formal in academic contexts, but generally acceptable in everyday conversation.	Use 'measure' when talking about quantities, sizes, or lengths. It's neutral, so it's appropriate in both casual and formal settings. Avoid using it in very informal contexts where slang might be preferred.	Use 'sum' in mathematics or when discussing totals. It's neutral in register, suitable for both formal and informal contexts. Avoid using it in non-numerical discussions.	Use 'volume' for both physical space and sound levels. It's neutral and appropriate in most contexts, from casual conversations to formal discussions. Avoid using it for abstract concepts like 'volume of work.'
