Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse “celebs” with the verb “celebrates” or “celebs” with the singular noun “celeb.” Remember that “celebs” is a plural informal noun, so it usually takes a plural verb (e.g., “The celebs are here,” not “The celebs is here”). Another common mistake is using “celebs” in formal writing; in formal contexts, “celebrities” is preferred.
