Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "cereal" with "serial". "Cereal" is food; "serial" is something that happens in a series (e.g., serial number, TV serial). Another mistake is saying "I eat cereals" when talking about breakfast in general; in this sense, English usually uses the uncountable form: "I eat cereal for breakfast."
