ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes think 'wetland' just means any land that is wet after rain. In English, a wetland is a special type of natural area that is wet for long periods and has plants and animals that are adapted to this. Learners also sometimes use only the plural 'wetlands' when a single area is meant (correct: 'this wetland', not only 'these wetlands').
