Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "humorous" with "fun". "Humorous" means something is funny and makes you laugh; "fun" means something is enjoyable, but not always funny. For example: "a humorous story" (it is funny) vs. "a fun game" (it is enjoyable). Also, learners often overuse "funny" and forget that "humorous" is more natural in written or formal contexts, like "humorous article" or "humorous ad".
