Erro comum:
Learners often use only 'mix' and do not use 'blend'. 'Blend' is preferred when the result is smooth or the parts can no longer be clearly seen, such as in soups, smoothies, or colors. Another mistake is saying 'blend up' like 'mix up'; usually English speakers just say 'blend it' or 'blend it until smooth'.
