Errore comune:
Learners sometimes say *"sceneries"* as a plural. In modern English, *scenery* is almost always uncountable, so we say *beautiful scenery* or *a piece of scenery*, not *beautiful sceneries*. Learners also confuse *scenery* with *scene*: *scene* is a part of a movie, play, or story, while *scenery* is what you see around you, usually in nature.

Errore comune:
Learners often confuse *scenery* with *scene* in theater and film. *Scenery* is the physical background (walls, trees, buildings), while a *scene* is a part of the story or script. Also, this meaning of *scenery* is less common than the natural-landscape meaning, so it may be missed in context.

Sinonimi
