Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes say *"in the patio"* instead of *"on the patio"*, but English normally uses *on* because a patio is treated like a flat surface. There can also be confusion between *patio*, *balcony*, *terrace*, and *deck*: a *patio* is on the ground, outside next to a building; a *balcony* is high up outside a building; a *deck* is often a raised wooden platform; a *terrace* is a general word for an outdoor sitting area.
