常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"She is very elegance"* instead of *"She is very elegant"* (adjective) or *"She has a lot of elegance"* (noun). Remember: *elegant* describes a person or thing, and *elegance* is the quality. Another mistake is using *elegance* for anything expensive; something can be expensive but still lack elegance if it is loud or in bad taste.
