Erro comum:
Learners sometimes say *"plentiful of"* (e.g., *"apples are plentiful of"*), but *"plentiful"* is an adjective and is not followed by *"of"*. Say *"apples are plentiful"* or *"there are plenty of apples"*. Another confusion is using *"plentiful"* before uncountable nouns with *"of"* (e.g., *"plentiful of water"*). The correct forms are *"plentiful water"* or *"water is plentiful"*.
