Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "habitation" with "habitat". "Habitation" is the state of living in a place, especially for people, while "habitat" is the natural home of an animal, plant, or other organism. Many learners also try to use "habitation" where native speakers would simply say "living" or "life" (e.g., "life on Mars" is more natural than "habitation on Mars").
