Частая ошибка:
Learners often confuse "continuance" with "continuation." In many cases both are possible, but "continuation" is more common in everyday English. "Continuance" sounds more formal and is often used in official or legal-style writing. Do not confuse it with the adjective "continuous," which describes something that does not stop at all.
