Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "exceptional" (adjective) with "exceptionally" (adverb). For example, they might say *"She is exceptionally student"* instead of "She is an exceptional student" or "She is exceptionally good." Learners may also think "exceptional" always means "different" and forget that in many contexts it strongly implies something is very good.
