خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes think 'pathogen' means only bacteria, but it is a general word for any disease-causing microorganism, including viruses, fungi, and parasites. Another common mistake is countability and article use: you say 'a pathogen', 'the pathogen', or 'pathogens', not 'the pathogenes' or 'many pathogen'. Also, 'pathogen' is technical; in everyday conversation, speakers more often say 'germs' or name specific types like 'virus' or 'bacteria'.
