Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse "restlessness" with "rest" and try to say *"I have a restlessness"* like a countable object. "Restlessness" is an uncountable noun and is usually used without an article: "I feel restlessness" or more naturally "I feel a sense of restlessness." They may also use the adjective form incorrectly, saying *"I am restlessness"* instead of "I am restless."
