Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say *"It was not success"* instead of *"It was unsuccessful" or "It was not a success". Use **unsuccessful** to describe an attempt, plan, or action that did not work. Also, use the pattern **be unsuccessful in doing something**, not *"be unsuccessful to do something"* (correct: "He was unsuccessful in finding a job," not "He was unsuccessful to find a job").
