Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "tenet" with "tenant". A "tenet" is a belief or principle; a "tenant" is a person who rents a house or apartment. Learners may also overuse "tenet" in casual speech, but it is mainly used in formal or written contexts (in everyday conversation, "principle" or "belief" is more common).
