اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think "shrimp" and "prawn" are completely different animals; in everyday English they are often used for the same food, depending on the country. Another common mistake is with the plural: English often uses "shrimp" for both singular and plural (one shrimp, two shrimp), though "shrimps" is also possible in some varieties. Avoid forms like *"a shrimps"*.
