Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "canopy" with "balcony". A balcony is a platform that you stand on, usually outside an upper floor of a building, while a canopy is a roof-like cover above something. Learners may also overuse "tent" when they mean a lighter open-sided canopy used for markets or events.

roof-like sheltering cover
