常见错误：
Learners sometimes use *problematic* as a noun in everyday speech (e.g. *We had many problematic*). In general English, *problematic* is an adjective (e.g. *We had many problematic situations* or simply *We had many problems*). Another confusion is using *problematic* for very simple problems where *hard*, *difficult*, or *a problem* sounds more natural.
