Learners sometimes say *"make a comparison analogy"*, which is redundant; use either *"make a comparison"* or *"make an analogy"*. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is natural to say *"an analogy between A and B"* or *"an analogy to/with something"*, not *"an analogy of" in most cases.
