Častá chyba:
Learners often say *"a troop"* when they mean many soldiers, but in modern English *"troops"* is usually used in the plural to mean soldiers in general (e.g., *"They sent in the troops"*, not *"They sent in the troop"*). Another common mistake is confusing *"troop"* with *"troupe"*: *"troupe"* means a group of performers, not soldiers.
