Erro comum:
Learners sometimes say *"mastery in"* a subject instead of the more natural *"mastery of"* a subject (e.g. use "mastery of mathematics," not "mastery in mathematics"). They may also confuse "mastery" with "masterpiece": a *masterpiece* is a great work of art, while *mastery* is the great skill used to create such work.

Use *"over"* more when you mean control or power, and *"of"* when you mean skill or knowledge.
