常見錯誤

❌We walked through a woodland.
✅We walked through woodland.
💡When referring to woodland in a general, non-specific way, it is uncountable and does not need the article 'a'.
❌This is a large woodland forest.
✅This is a large woodland area.
💡Woodland already means land with trees, so adding 'forest' is redundant.
