عام غلطی:
Learners often say *"the preface of the book"* instead of the more natural *"the preface to the book"*. Also, some confuse *preface* with *prologue* or *foreword*: a *prologue* is usually part of the story itself (especially in plays and novels), while a *foreword* is a brief introductory note, often by someone other than the main author.

عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *preface* like *"prepare"* (e.g. *"I prefaced for the exam"*), which is incorrect. It must take an object: you preface a comment, speech, or text. There is also confusion over prepositions: *preface something by saying...* or *preface something with a remark*, not *"preface something to"*.
