Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "underline" with "highlight" and use them interchangeably. "Underline" specifically means drawing a line under text, while "highlight" usually involves coloring the background or otherwise marking text, especially on a computer. Another mistake is saying *"underline under the word"*; simply say "underline the word".
