よくある間違い:
Learners often confuse 'shore', 'beach', and 'coast'. A 'shore' is any land along the edge of water. A 'beach' is a sandy or pebbly part of the shore where people usually relax or swim. 'Coast' is often used for long stretches of land next to the sea, especially in maps or travel descriptions.
