よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *"I am a gladness"* or *"I am gladness"*, confusing the noun with the adjective. Use the adjective for people (e.g., *"I am glad"*) and the noun for the feeling (e.g., *"I feel gladness"* or *"I feel gladness in my heart"*). Learners also sometimes use *gladness* when *happiness* is more natural in everyday speech.
