fabric material used to make things
Material like cotton or wool that is used to make clothes, bags, and other things.
उपयोग पैटर्न:
[someone] buys [cloth] to make [something]
आम गलती:
Learners sometimes say *a cloth* when they mean the material in general. Use *cloth* without *a* for the material (e.g., *This dress is made of soft cloth*, not *of a soft cloth*). They also confuse *cloth* (material) with *clothes* (things you wear).
समानार्थी शब्द

विलोम शब्द
metal (A hard, rigid material, contrasted with soft, flexible cloth used for making garments and coverings.)

उपयोग पैटर्न:
[someone] wipes [something] with a cloth
आम गलती:
Learners sometimes say *cloth* when they should say *clothes* (e.g., *I need new cloth* when they mean *I need new clothes*). They may also confuse *cloth* with *towel*; a towel is a special cloth mainly for drying the body.

the Christian clergy as a group
Christian priests and ministers as a group, seen as their job or class in society.
उपयोग पैटर्न:
[someone] joins the cloth
आम गलती:
Learners may misunderstand *the cloth* as a literal piece of fabric instead of a formal way to talk about priests and ministers. The meaning is usually clear only from context and is most often seen with *the* (e.g., *the cloth*, *men of the cloth*).
समानार्थी शब्द
clergy (The standard modern term; *the cloth* is more literary or formal and often slightly old‑fashioned.)
विलोम शब्द
laity (Refers to ordinary believers who are not members of the clergy, the usual contrast to *the cloth* or *the clergy*.)
