Learners sometimes confuse "hose" with "pipe" or "tube." A "hose" is usually flexible and used to move water or other liquids from one place to another, often by hand. A "pipe" is usually hard and fixed in buildings or machines. "Tube" is more general and can be for liquids, gas, or even creams, and is not always used for spraying.
Maksud
Flexible tube for water or fluid

Learners sometimes say *"wash with hose"* instead of using the verb form "hose." In English we usually say "hose something down" or "hose something off," for example, "We hosed the car down," not *"We washed the car with hose."* Also, remember that "hose" as a verb almost always involves water coming from a hose, not just any kind of washing.
