I've actually encountered that a lot with new players as well - folks who make assumptions about what spells are bonus actions and what spells are actions, without reading or checking the spell itself (even with spell cards in front of them), and especially so with cantrips. I am curious about why that specific distinction comes up as a stumble point for new players, when other similar things don't. I think Norway's suggestion is probably part of it, but I feel like there must be more to it that causes so many people who are fresh to D&D in general tripping over this bit.
