Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think "tremendous" is only positive. In this sense it is neutral and can describe both good and bad things (e.g. "tremendous damage" as well as "tremendous progress"). Some learners also confuse it with "tremor" or "tremble" because of similar spelling, but it is not usually related to shaking in modern English.

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes overuse "very" and say "very tremendous", which is unnatural because "tremendous" already means "very, very good" or "very big". Just say "a tremendous job", not "a very tremendous job". Learners may also confuse the adjective "tremendous" with the adverb "tremendously" (e.g. "a tremendously good idea" vs. "a tremendous idea").
