常见错误：
Learners sometimes write *"encompass of"* (e.g., *"The course encompasses of three modules"*). Unlike "consist of", "encompass" is used directly with an object: *"The course encompasses three modules"*. Learners may also use "encompass" in very casual speech where "include" would sound more natural.
