electrical power outlet

A place in a wall or floor where you put a plug to get electricity.

الگوی کاربرد: plug [something] into a socket
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'socket' with 'plug'. The socket is the fixed part in the wall that gives electricity; the plug is the part on the cable that you put into the socket. In American English, people often say 'outlet' instead of 'socket'.

detachable wrench head

A small metal tube that you put on a wrench to turn a nut or bolt.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse this tool 'socket' with an electrical 'socket'. In this sense, a socket is part of a wrench set, not something in a wall.

In computers, a point in a network connection that a program uses to send or receive data, identified by an address and port number.

الگوی کاربرد: open a socket to [an address]
اشتباه رایج:

الگوی کاربرد: socket [something] into [something]
اشتباه رایج:
This verb is rare in everyday speech; learners may try to use it where simple verbs like 'put in' or 'insert' are more natural in general English.
