Erro comum:
Learners sometimes use *cohort* to mean just any group in casual conversation. In everyday speech, *group* or *bunch* is more natural; *cohort* is mainly used in formal or research contexts, especially with age or time (e.g., *the 1990 birth cohort*). Another mistake is forgetting *of*: it should be *a cohort of students*, not *a cohort students*.
