సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners often confuse "bough" with "bow" (the word with several meanings and different pronunciations). They may also overuse "bough" instead of the much more common word "branch" in everyday speech and writing. In modern English, "branch" is usually the better choice, and "bough" is mostly used in literary or poetic contexts.
