Common mistakes
- Confusing 'view' with 'vision' — 'view' is visual and context-related, while 'vision' relates to sight capabilities.
- Using 'view' as a verb incorrectly instead of a noun — 'I have a great view' is correct, 'I view a great' is awkward.
- Mixing up 'view' with 'sight' — while similar, 'sight' often refers to a visual impression, whereas 'view' can imply a broader context.
