Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "legislature" with similar words:
- "legislator" (a person who makes laws, usually a member of a legislature).
- "legislation" (the laws themselves, or the process of making laws).
Also, some learners mistakenly use "legislature" to refer to the physical building; the correct term for the building is usually "parliament building", "capitol", or "legislative building" depending on the country.
