Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun pattern and say *"He puts condom"* instead of *"He puts on a condom"*. Remember: 'condom' is countable, so say *"a condom"* or *"condoms"*. Another mistake is mixing up 'condom' with 'condominium' (a type of apartment); these are completely different words.
