Erro comum:
Learners sometimes use "perilous" in casual speech where "dangerous" or "risky" would sound more natural. "Perilous" is more formal or dramatic. Also, some confuse the adjective "perilous" with the noun "peril" and say *"it is a perilous"* when they mean *"it is a peril"*, or *"it is perilous"* when they need a noun.
