اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"I live in a suburb of city"* without *"the"* before the city name. The natural pattern is *"a suburb of London"*, *"a suburb of Tokyo"*. Another confusion is using *"village"* or *"town"* instead of *"suburb"; a suburb is usually part of a larger city, not a separate town.
