غلطة شائعة:
Learners often confuse 'respectful' with 'respectable'. 'Respectful' describes how someone behaves toward others (e.g., 'a respectful child'), while 'respectable' describes someone who deserves respect or has a good moral or social position (e.g., 'a respectable job'). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: say 'respectful to' or 'respectful toward someone', not 'respectful with someone'.
