Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun "valour" with the adjective "brave" and try to say *"he is very valour"* instead of "he is very brave" or "he showed great valour." Another common issue is spelling: American English uses "valor," while British English uses "valour." Learners may also mix it up with "value," which refers to worth, not courage.
