عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "setback" with the verb phrase "set back" or the phrase "step back." "Setback" (one word) is a noun meaning a problem or delay in progress. "Set back" is usually a verb phrase (e.g., "The repairs set us back $200"), and "step back" means to move back or to pause and think about something.
