Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes confuse 'victorious' (adjective) with 'victory' (noun). Use 'victorious team' (adjective) but 'a big victory' (noun). Another mistake is to say *'do a victory' instead of 'win a victory' or 'be victorious'. Also, 'victorious over' is more common than 'victorious against', although both can appear.
