Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "oasis" with "mirage". An oasis is real and has water; a mirage is only an image that looks real but is not. Another common mistake is the plural form: the correct plural is "oases", not "oasises". Also, "oasis" is normally countable, so we say "an oasis", not just "oasis" in singular contexts.

Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use "oasis" without the usual pattern "an oasis of + abstract noun" (e.g., "an oasis of calm", "an oasis of peace"). Another mistake is to use it for any good place, when it should specifically contrast with something difficult or unpleasant around it. It is also less natural to use it for people ("she is an oasis") than for places, times, or situations.
