ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse "reed" with "weed". A reed is a specific tall plant that grows in water or very wet ground, while a weed is any unwanted plant. Many learners also confuse the spelling and pronunciation of "reed" with the verb "read" (present tense /riːd/, past tense /rɛd/).
