Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes think 'fruitful' can only talk about real fruit. In modern English it is more often used for actions, talks, or work that give good results. Learners also confuse 'fruitful' and 'fruitless'; remember that '-less' usually means 'without', so 'fruitless' means 'without results'.
