Erro comum:
Learners sometimes say *a clothing* when they mean *a garment*. "Clothing" is usually uncountable, so for one piece you should say *a garment* or *a piece of clothing*. Another confusion is with "cloth": cloth is the material, while a garment is a finished piece of clothing made from cloth or other materials.
