electrical power outlet
A place in a wall or floor where you put a plug to get electricity.
Corak penggunaan:
plug [something] into a socket
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse 'socket' with 'plug'. The socket is the fixed part in the wall that gives electricity; the plug is the part on the cable that you put into the socket. In American English, people often say 'outlet' instead of 'socket'.
Sinonim
outlet (More common in American English; means the same type of electrical point on a wall.)
|
power point (Mostly Australian and some British English; a wall socket that gives electrical power.)

holder that something fits into
A special part of a machine or device where another part fits in and stays in place.

Sinonim
holder (More general and less technical; does not always suggest a hollow shape.)
|
receptacle (More formal/technical; stresses a part that receives another item.)
