Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes confuse "mould" with "mildew". Both are fungi, but "mildew" is usually used for a thin, whitish growth on walls, plants, or fabric, while "mould" can be any fuzzy growth on food or other damp surfaces. Another common issue is spelling: British English uses "mould" and American English uses "mold".

Learners sometimes confuse the noun "mould" (the tool) with the verb "to mould" (the action of shaping). Also, some learners use "model" instead of "mould"; a "model" is a finished example or copy, while a "mould" is the hollow form used to make copies.
