Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse "ledge" with "edge." A ledge is a narrow, flat surface that sticks out, while an edge is simply the outer line or border of a surface. For example, you stand "on the ledge" of a building, but you stand "at the edge" of a table or a cliff. Also, we usually say "on the ledge" rather than "in the ledge."
