Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes say *"a copious of"* instead of *"copious"* before a plural or uncountable noun. The correct pattern is *"copious amounts of water"*, *"copious rain"*, or *"copious notes"*, not *"a copious of water"*. They may also confuse "copious" with "curious" because they look similar, but the meanings are unrelated.
