الگوی کاربرد: a sequel to [a book/film/game]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "sequel" with "sequence." A "sequel" is a later book, film, or game that continues an earlier one, while a "sequence" is a series of things in order. Learners also sometimes use "sequel" as a verb (e.g. *"They sequeled the movie"*), but in standard English it is only a noun; you can say "They made a sequel" instead.

الگوی کاربرد: a sequel to [an event/situation]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may try to use this formal sense of "sequel" in everyday speech where more common words like "result," "effect," or "aftermath" are natural. In conversation, it is usually better to say "as a result" than "as a sequel."
هم‌معنی‌ها
aftermath (Often suggests negative results following a serious event such as a war, disaster, or scandal.) | consequence (Stresses the result that naturally follows from a cause; more general and common than this formal use of "sequel.")
متضادها
