Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes use *vehement* as a general synonym for *very* (e.g., *a vehement big house*), which is incorrect. *Vehement* is used mainly with emotions, speech, or reactions (e.g., *vehement denial, vehement protest, vehement opposition*), and often suggests anger or strong disagreement. It is not used with neutral physical descriptions like size, color, or age.
