peaceful and quiet (place)
calm and very quiet, with nothing noisy or busy happening
Patrón de uso:
a tranquil [place]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use *tranquil* for loud or busy places just because they are pleasant (for example, a popular café). *Tranquil* always suggests quietness and little movement. Another mistake is to spell it like the related noun *tranquility* (with -ity) and write *tranquililty* or similar errors.

Patrón de uso:

Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes use *tranquil* where *quiet* or *relaxed* is more natural in speech about people, making the sentence sound too formal. Also, they may confuse *tranquil* with *tranquilizer*, which is a noun for a type of drug, not an adjective for a person’s feeling.
