Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes confuse "slogan" with "logo". A slogan is made of words; a logo is a picture or design. Some learners also try to use "slogan" as a verb (e.g., *They slogan their product*). In English, "slogan" is normally only a noun; use verbs like "use a slogan" or "create a slogan" instead.
