Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes think "ritual" can replace the verb "do" and say *"I ritual my morning"*, but "ritual" is a noun, so you should say "I have a morning ritual" or "I follow a morning ritual". They may also think a ritual must be religious, but in modern usage it is very common for personal or everyday routines.
