Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use *linkage* instead of the more common word *link* in everyday speech. In most casual situations, *link* or *connection* is more natural (e.g., “the link between stress and sleep” rather than “the linkage between stress and sleep”). *Linkage* is more frequent in formal or technical writing.
