Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say "I will go to the veterinary" when they mean the clinic or hospital. In this noun use, "a veterinary" refers to the person. To talk about the place, use "veterinary clinic" or "veterinary hospital". Also, in many contexts, "veterinarian" is more natural than "veterinary" as a noun, especially in American English.
