Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "flyer" with "poster". A flyer is usually a small sheet that someone gives you or you pick up, while a poster is larger and is put on a wall. Learners also sometimes spell it "flier"; both spellings are used, but "flyer" is more common for advertising papers in modern usage.
Significado
