Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse a 'parade' with a 'protest' or 'march'. A protest or march usually focuses on expressing political opinions or anger, while a parade is more often a celebration, though it can also be used for political causes. Also, learners may say *'The people made a line on the street'* instead of 'There was a parade on the street.'
