Common mistake:
Learners sometimes confuse 'brochure' with 'folder' or 'file'. A 'brochure' is something you read that gives information, usually for advertising or explaining; a 'folder' is something you use to hold papers. Another mistake is using it as non-countable (e.g., *I need some brochure*); it is a countable noun, so say 'I need a brochure' or 'I need some brochures'.
