اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "obsession" with "passion". "Passion" is usually positive and healthy, while "obsession" often suggests something too strong or unhealthy. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is usually "obsession with" (e.g. "her obsession with fashion"), not *"obsession of"*. Also, remember to use an article: say "an obsession" or "his obsession", not *"he has obsession with games"*.
