Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes use 'hard' instead of 'sturdy' for objects (e.g., 'hard shoes'). 'Hard' describes the surface, while 'sturdy' describes how strong and well-made something is overall. Another mistake is confusing 'sturdy' with 'heavy'; something can be sturdy without being very heavy.
