اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "heroism" (a general quality or kind of behavior) with "a hero" (a person). For example, "He is a heroism" is incorrect; it should be "He is a hero" or "He showed heroism." Also, some learners use "heroism" where the simpler word "courage" or "bravery" would sound more natural in everyday speech.
