よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "group" instead of "clump" for physical substances. Use "clump" when the focus is on a thick, heavy, or sticky mass (clump of mud, clump of hair), not just any collection of items (a group of people). Also, remember the pattern is usually "a clump of [something]".
意味
small compact mass of something
コロケーション

|a clump of hair
|a clump of soil
|a clump of mud

類義語
