Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'construction' and 'reconstruction'. 'Construction' is the first building of something, while 'reconstruction' is building it again after damage. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: say 'the reconstruction of the bridge', not 'the reconstruction for the bridge'. Remember that 'reconstruction' is a noun; the verb is 'reconstruct', not '*reconstruction*'.
