Μοτίβο χρήσης:
a/an [adjective] spacecraft
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say "spacecrafts" as the plural form. In most technical and common usage, "spacecraft" is both singular and plural (one spacecraft, two spacecraft). "Spacecrafts" is much less common and can sound nonstandard in scientific writing. Learners also confuse "spacecraft" and "spaceship"; "spacecraft" is the neutral, technical word, while "spaceship" is more informal and often used in science fiction.
