Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "rope" with "string" or "thread" and say things like *a rope of hair* when "strand" or "lock" is more natural. They may also treat "rope" as always uncountable and say *I need rope* when in many situations English prefers *I need a rope* or *some rope*, depending on whether you mean one whole piece or an amount in general.

Learners often use only "string" (e.g. *string of pearls*) and do not realize that "rope" can also be used, especially when something looks thick or heavy. Both are correct in some collocations, but *a rope of pearls* sounds more luxurious and old-fashioned than *a string of pearls*.
Significado
string of objects like pearls
Colocações
a rope of pearls
|ropes of garlic
|ropes of onions
|ropes of sausages
Sinónimos
string (Very close in many cases (e.g. string of pearls), but "rope" suggests something thicker or heavier.)
|
