ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse "cove" with "cave". A "cove" is an open place where the sea comes into the land, usually with sky above it, while a "cave" is a dark hole in rock or a cliff. Learners may also try to use "cove" for any bay, but in English it usually suggests a relatively small and sheltered place.

Learners may think this is a normal, modern word for "man" and use it in everyday conversation. In reality, it sounds old-fashioned or humorous, and is mainly seen in older British books or used jokingly.
