Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "analogue" with "analogy". "Analogue" is the similar thing itself, while an "analogy" is a way of explaining something by comparing it to something else. Learners also forget the usual pattern and say *"analogue for"* instead of the more natural "analogue of" or "analogue to".
