الگوی کاربرد: [something] overlaps (with) [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say "overlap each other" (e.g., "Their jobs overlap each other"). In most cases, simply say "their jobs overlap" or "their jobs overlap with each other". Another common error is using "cross" or "mix" instead of "overlap" when talking about shared time or topics.
