Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "performer" with "performance." "Performer" is the person, while "performance" is the show or act itself. Example: "The performer gave a great performance." Another mistake is using "artist" only for painters; many actors, singers, and dancers can also be called performers or artists.
