Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse "contraceptive" (a countable thing, like a pill or device) with "contraception" (the uncountable idea or practice of preventing pregnancy). For example, "She uses a contraception" is incorrect; it should be "She uses a contraceptive" or "She uses contraception."

contraceptive [noun]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners may forget that "contraceptive" is often used before a noun, as in "contraceptive methods" or "contraceptive pill." Saying "methods contraceptive" or overusing the noun form (e.g., "pill contraceptive") is unnatural. The correct order is always "contraceptive" + noun.
Từ đồng nghĩa
birth-control (Used mainly before nouns (e.g., "birth-control methods"); slightly less technical and more everyday than "contraceptive".)
Từ trái nghĩa
fertility-enhancing (Describes treatments or methods that increase the chance of pregnancy rather than preventing it.)
