cooperative work by a group
When people work together and help each other to reach the same goal.
Patrón de uso:
teamwork between [people]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes treat 'teamwork' as a countable noun and say *a teamwork* or *many teamworks*. In modern English, 'teamwork' is almost always uncountable, so we say 'good teamwork', 'a spirit of teamwork', or 'examples of teamwork', but not *a teamwork*.
