Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes use "fanciful" when they only mean "creative" or "interesting". "Fanciful" usually suggests that something is unreal or not likely to happen, often with a critical tone. Do not use it to mean "expensive" or "high-class"; that meaning belongs to "fancy", not "fanciful".
