Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "exposition" with "exhibition" because the words look similar. "Exposition" usually means a formal explanation in words, while "exhibition" means a public show of objects (for example, art, products). Learners also overuse "exposition" in everyday speech where the simpler word "explanation" is more natural.

Another confusion is using "exposition" to mean any explanation in life; this sense is only about storytelling.
