Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often confuse "haven" with "heaven". "Haven" means a safe place on earth, while "heaven" is a religious idea of a place where God or gods live. They sound similar but have different vowels and meanings. Another mistake is using "haven" as a verb (e.g., *to haven someone*); in modern English, it is only used as a noun.
