טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse "magnificence" (noun) with "magnificent" (adjective). Use "magnificence" after articles or possessives ("the magnificence of the castle", "its magnificence"), and "magnificent" before nouns ("a magnificent castle"). Another mistake is trying to use it in the plural; it is almost always uncountable and used without "-s".
