Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "coherent" with "cohesive." "Coherent" focuses on clear, logical meaning (an argument, explanation, or story that makes sense), while "cohesive" focuses on how well parts are linked together (for example, sentences joined with good linking words). Another mistake is saying *"a coherence argument"* instead of *"a coherent argument"*; remember that "coherent" is the adjective, "coherence" is the noun.
