Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes use 'abound' like a normal transitive verb (e.g., *'They abound problems'*), but it is intransitive. You say 'problems abound' or 'the city abounds with problems', not '*abound problems*'. They may also confuse 'abound' with the adjective 'abundant': 'fish abound in the lake' (verb) vs. 'fish are abundant in the lake' (adjective).
