常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "staid" with "stayed" because they sound the same. "Staid" is an adjective meaning serious and dull, while "stayed" is the past tense of "stay". Another mistake is to use "staid" for any serious situation; it specifically suggests seriousness that feels old‑fashioned or not fun, not just professional or formal seriousness.
