عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"contestant of the show"* instead of the more natural *"contestant on the show"* or *"contestant in the show"*. Use **on** for TV and radio programs ("a contestant on a game show") and **in** for general competitions or events ("a contestant in the race"). Another confusion is between **contestant** and **contest**: *contest* is the event, *contestant* is the person who takes part.
