Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "clatter" with "clutter". "Clatter" is about loud noise, while "clutter" means a messy collection of things. Also, some learners use "a clatter" for any noise; it is best used for repeated, hard, rattling sounds (like dishes, hooves, machinery).

Learners sometimes use "clatter" for soft sounds, but it should be used only for loud, sharp sounds from hard objects. Some also add an unnecessary object (e.g. *"He clattered the"* without saying what or where); use the intransitive pattern "[something] clatters" when nothing is being moved by someone.
