Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes say "immune of" instead of "immune to" when talking about disease (correct: "She is immune to the virus," not "immune of the virus"). They may also confuse the adjective "immune" with the noun phrase "immune system"; "immune" describes a person or animal, while "immune system" is the body's defense system itself.
