عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse the noun "deterioration" with the verb "deteriorate". Use "deterioration" with articles and prepositions (e.g., "a deterioration in sales", "the deterioration of standards"), and "deteriorate" as a verb (e.g., "sales deteriorated", "relations deteriorated"). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition; the most natural patterns are "deterioration in [something]" and "deterioration of [something]".

عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "broken" or "old" instead of describing the process as "deterioration". Use "deterioration" when you want to talk about the ongoing or gradual damage (e.g., "the deterioration of the roof"), not just the final result. Another mistake is to use it without a specific physical thing: here it should refer to a concrete object or material, not an abstract situation.
