Learners sometimes confuse "marsh" with "swamp" or "bog". A marsh usually has grasses and few or no trees, while a swamp often has trees. Another common mistake is confusing the word "marsh" with the verb "march" (to walk in a regular, military way); they have different meanings and pronunciations.
