Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse 'fraudulent' (adjective) with 'fraud' (noun). Use 'fraudulent' before a noun, as in 'fraudulent activity' or 'fraudulent claim', and 'fraud' on its own, as in 'He committed fraud.' Another mistake is using 'fraudulent' in casual contexts where 'fake' or 'not true' would be more natural, since 'fraudulent' usually suggests serious or legal wrongdoing.
