Gebruikspatroon:
[someone]'s classmate
Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners sometimes say *"a my classmate"* instead of *"my classmate"* or *"a classmate of mine"*. Another common mistake is to use *classmate* for people who work together; in that case, *coworker* or *colleague* is correct. Also, *classmate* usually refers to another student, not to teachers or staff.
