Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "sagacity" with the adjective "sagacious." Use "sagacity" as a noun (e.g., "her sagacity impressed us") and "sagacious" as an adjective (e.g., "a sagacious leader"). Another mistake is to think it means "sad" or "saggy" because of the sound; in fact, it only refers to wise and sharp judgment.
