Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "politeness" (a noun) with "polite" (an adjective). Use "politeness" for the idea or quality (e.g., "His politeness is famous"), and "polite" before a noun (e.g., "a polite child"). Another common mistake is treating "politeness" as countable in general use (*"many politenesses"); it is normally uncountable, so say "a lot of politeness" or "great politeness" instead.
