常见错误:
Learners sometimes confuse "stump" with "stamp" or "stomp" because they sound similar. "Stump" in this sense is about confusion, while "stamp" and "stomp" are about hitting your foot on the ground. Another common issue is forgetting to use the passive form: we often say "I am stumped by this problem" rather than "This problem stumps" without an object.
