Häufiger Fehler:
Learners often confuse the spelling of the -ing form, writing "dying" instead of "dyeing". "Dying" is from the verb "die" (to stop living), while "dyeing" is from "dye" (to color something). They may also incorrectly use "dye" for things normally painted, saying *"dye the wall"* instead of "paint the wall".
