place that gives protection

A place or building where people or animals are safe from rain, cold, or danger.

الگوی کاربرد: a shelter for [people/animals]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun 'shelter' with the verb and say *'we sheltered in a shelter place'* instead of 'we took shelter' or 'we went to a shelter'. Also, 'shelter' as a place is usually countable: 'a shelter', 'several shelters', not *'much shelter'*, unless you mean protection in general.
هم‌معنی‌ها
refuge (Often suggests a safe place during danger or stress; a little more formal or emotional.) | haven (Emphasizes a peaceful, safe place; slightly literary.)
