Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners often use the wrong preposition and say *“marvel of”* or *“marvel about”* when they mean the verb. For the verb, the natural pattern is usually *“marvel at [something]”* or *“marvel that …”*. Also, some learners confuse the verb *“marvel”* with the noun brand name *“Marvel”* and do not realize they are different uses.
