Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "airplane" with "airport" and "airline." "Airplane" is the flying vehicle, "airport" is the place where airplanes take off and land, and "airline" is the company that operates flights. Some learners also mix American "airplane" with British "aeroplane"; both mean the same thing, but "airplane" is standard in American English.
