Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "aggregate" with "average". "Aggregate" is the full total after adding all parts, while "average" is usually the total divided by the number of items. Learners also sometimes say *"many aggregates"* when they mean *"many amounts";* usually there is one aggregate for a given set of numbers.

Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use "aggregate" without an object, as in *"The numbers aggregate"*. It is usually used with an object: "We aggregate the numbers" or "The system aggregates data." Another error is using it where simple words like "add" or "put together" are more natural in everyday speech; "aggregate" sounds formal and is common in technical or business contexts.

Error frecuente:
