عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think 'hardwood' simply means any wood that feels hard. In English, it usually refers to wood from broad-leaved trees (like oak or maple), not just wood that is physically hard. It is also often used before another noun, as in 'hardwood floor', not usually by itself as an adjective (*'a hardwood table' is okay, but *'this wood is very hardwood' is incorrect).
