Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "sequel" with "sequence." A "sequel" is a later book, film, or game that continues an earlier one, while a "sequence" is a series of things in order. Learners also sometimes use "sequel" as a verb (e.g. *"They sequeled the movie"*), but in standard English it is only a noun; you can say "They made a sequel" instead.
