Common mistake:
Learners sometimes use 'scholarly' to describe anything related to school, like 'scholarly classroom' or 'scholarly exam'. In modern English, 'scholarly' is usually used for advanced academic research or writing, not everyday school things. Use 'school' or 'academic' for general school-related topics.
