Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often confuse "quotation" with "citation". A quotation is the exact words you repeat; a citation is the reference that shows where the quotation or idea comes from. Learners also sometimes use "quotation" when they mean "price quote" for work or services; in that case, use the money sense of "quotation" or simply "quote".

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes mix this money meaning with the "words" meaning and say things like *"I need a quote from the electrician"* but then think of "quotation" only as words from a book. In business contexts, both "quote" and "quotation" can mean a price; in everyday speech, "quote" is more common.

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may not realize that this abstract, formal sense exists and may try to use the more concrete sense ("a quotation" as a group of words) where an uncountable, abstract use is expected ("quotation" as a practice). In academic writing, "quotation" can be both countable and uncountable, which can cause article errors.
