Learners sometimes forget the article and say *"I am novice at this"* instead of *"I am a novice at this."* Also, *"novice"* is usually followed by *"at"* or *"in"*, as in *"a novice at tennis"* or *"a novice in this field"*, not *"a novice of tennis".* Another confusion is using *"novice"* as a verb (e.g., *"I novice cooking"*), which is incorrect; it is only a noun.
