常見錯誤

✅She gave three storytelling performances at the event.
💡storytelling is uncountable and needs a countable noun like 'session' or 'performance' to be pluralised.
❌I enjoy storytelling stories.
✅I enjoy telling stories.' or 'I enjoy storytelling.
💡storytelling already includes the concept of telling stories, so 'stories' is redundant.
