خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "midday" with "midnight" because the words look similar. "Midday" is the middle of the day (about 12:00 in the daytime), while "midnight" is the middle of the night (00:00). Another mistake is using an article where it is not needed, as in *"at the midday"*; the natural phrase is "at midday" without an article.
المعنى

خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes say *"the sun at midday is very midday"* instead of using "midday" before the noun, as in "the midday sun is very hot." Another issue is using "midday" where a different adjective is more natural, for example saying *"midday movie"* instead of the more common "afternoon movie" or simply "a movie at midday."
