Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say *"more worse"* instead of using "worse" or the verb "worsen". Use "worsen" as a verb (e.g., "His condition worsened"), and use "worse" as an adjective or adverb (e.g., "His condition is worse"). They also often overuse "get worse" and avoid "worsen"; both are correct, but "worsen" is more formal and common in writing.
