Errore comune:
Learners often confuse “postgraduate” with “graduate”. In American English, a “graduate student” is the same as a British “postgraduate”, but in other contexts “graduate” can simply mean a person who has finished a degree. Learners also sometimes use “postgraduate” for someone who has finished all study; in fact, it refers to someone who is currently doing further study after their first degree.
