자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse the noun 'relevance' with the adjective 'relevant'. For example, they may say *'This is of relevance information'* instead of the correct forms: 'This information is relevant' or 'This has relevance.' Another common mistake is using 'relevancy', which is possible but much less common and often unnecessary.
