powerful farm vehicle for pulling
A strong farm vehicle that pulls heavy machines and trailers across fields.
نمط الاستخدام:
drive/operate a [tractor]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "tractor" with "truck" or use "tractor" for any large vehicle. A tractor is usually a special vehicle for pulling machines, especially on farms. Another mistake is mixing up "tractor" and "trailer": the tractor is the pulling vehicle; the trailer is the thing being pulled.
المرادفات
farm vehicle (More general; can mean any vehicle used on a farm, not only tractors.)
الأضداد
trailer (A trailer is pulled by another vehicle, while a tractor is the vehicle that does the pulling.)

road truck that pulls trailers
The front truck with the engine that pulls a long trailer on the road.
نمط الاستخدام:
a [tractor] pulls [a trailer]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may think "tractor" always means a farm vehicle and not know it can also mean the front part of a big truck. In transport English, "tractor" or "truck tractor" is the powered unit, and "trailer" is the part that carries the goods.
المرادفات
truck tractor (More precise technical term in road transport; clearly refers to the powered unit of an articulated truck.)
الأضداد
trailer (In a tractor-trailer combination, the tractor pulls while the trailer is pulled and carries the load.)

المرادفات

الأضداد
