اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "gas" meaning "gasoline" in American English with "gas" as a scientific word for a state of matter. Also, in British English the common word is "petrol", not "gasoline". Another mistake is treating "gasoline" as countable in everyday use (e.g., saying *a gasoline*); it is normally uncountable: "some gasoline", "a gallon of gasoline".
معنی
Liquid fuel for cars and engines
