Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse 'sect' with 'section' or 'sector'. 'Sect' is used for groups of people, usually in religion or ideology. 'Section' is a part of something (like a book or a city), and 'sector' is a part of the economy or an area of activity. Learners may also use 'sect' for any social group; in modern English, it is mainly used for religious or strongly ideological groups, not for casual categories like 'a sect of students'.
