Ground around a church with graves
The land around a church where people are often buried and where you can see graves or stones.
Käyttömalli:
in the [churchyard]
Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes use "churchyard" to mean any place around a church, including the car park or garden, but it usually suggests the area with graves and tombstones. Another common confusion is between "churchyard", "graveyard", and "cemetery": all are burial places, but "churchyard" and "graveyard" are typically next to a church, while a "cemetery" may be separate from any church. Also, some learners mistakenly write it as two words ("church yard"); the correct form is one word: "churchyard".
Synonyymit
