Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse "renown" (noun) with "renowned" (adjective). Use "renown" in phrases like "win renown" or "international renown", and "renowned" before a noun, as in "a renowned artist". Another confusion is with "notoriety", which usually means being famous for something bad, while "renown" is generally positive.
