خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse “tub” with “tube.” A “tub” is a wide open container (like a bath), while a “tube” is long and narrow (like a toothpaste tube). Also, use the preposition “in” with this meaning: you sit “in the tub,” not “on the tub.”
المعنى

المتلازمات اللفظية
fill the tub
|soak in the tub
|get in the tub
|sit in the tub
