Kesalahan umum:
Learners often use "cave" for all underground spaces and do not know "cavern". In general English, this is not wrong, but "cavern" is used when you want to stress that the cave is very large. Some learners also confuse "cavern" with "cabin" (a small house) because they look similar in writing.
