Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "erode" with "corrode". "Erode" is usually about physical wearing away by water, wind, or ice (rivers erode rocks), while "corrode" is about chemical damage, especially by rust or acid (acid corrodes metal). Also, "erode" can be both transitive and intransitive: "The river erodes the bank" and "The bank is eroding."
