Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes try to use 'aftermath' for small, everyday events (e.g., *the aftermath of my lunch*), which sounds unnatural; it is normally used for serious or large-scale events. Another common error is omitting 'of' or the article: it is usually used as 'the aftermath of [something]', not *aftermath of* or *an aftermath of* in most contexts.
