Häufiger Fehler:
Learners often confuse "shrub" with "bush." In most everyday contexts they can be used in the same way, but "shrub" is slightly more technical and common in gardening and landscaping. Some learners also confuse "shrub" with "scrub"; "scrub" usually refers to land covered with low, rough plants, not to a single plant.
