✕Common Mistakes
Fare bozzetti è una abitudine quotidiana.
The apostrophe is correct only because the article ‘un’ meets a vowel‑starting noun; beginners sometimes write ‘una abitudine’, which is wrong.
Fare bozzetti e un'abitudine quotidiana.
Do not confuse the verb ‘è’ (is) with the conjunction ‘e’ (and).
Fare bozzetto è un'abitudine quotidiana.
‘Bozzetti’ is plural; if you refer to a single sketch, use ‘un bozzetto’. The sentence as a habit uses the plural correctly.

Cultural Tip
