Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes treat "moisture" as a countable noun and say *"a moisture"* or *"many moistures"*. It is almost always uncountable, so say "some moisture" or "a lot of moisture". Learners may also confuse it with "humidity", which is used mainly for moisture in the air, not in objects or materials.
