Częsty błąd:
Learners may assume that 'forenoon' is a common modern word for 'morning'. In everyday English, native speakers almost always say 'morning' or 'late morning' instead. 'Forenoon' is now rare and sounds literary, old-fashioned, or regional. It is usually used with 'the' (e.g., 'in the forenoon'), not as an adjective before a noun (*forenoon rain* is unusual; 'morning rain' is preferred).
