Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "strenuous" to describe people (e.g., *"He is a strenuous"*), but it normally describes activities, tasks, or physical work, not people. Another common confusion is with "stressful": "strenuous" focuses on physical effort, while "stressful" focuses on mental pressure or worry.
