Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse “exertion” with “exercise.” “Exercise” is a regular activity you do to stay healthy (for example, running, swimming), while “exertion” is the heavy effort or energy used in any hard activity (it can be sports, work, or even thinking). Learners also sometimes say “do an exertion”; natural English uses “make an effort” or simply “after much exertion,” not *“do an exertion.”*

Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use “exertion” with power words without the preposition “of,” for example *“exertion power”* instead of the correct “exertion of power.” Another mistake is choosing “exertion” where “effort” is better; for physical or mental work, use “effort” or “exertion,” but for power or authority, use “exertion of power/authority” or “exercise of power/authority.”
