round container with a handle
A round container with a handle that you use to carry things like water, sand, or trash.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[someone] carries [something] in a pail
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often confuse "pail" with "pale" (the adjective meaning "light in color" or "not strong"). They may also not realize that in modern English, especially in everyday speech, "bucket" is more common than "pail", and the two words are usually interchangeable when talking about this kind of container.
คำพ้องความหมาย
bucket (More common in everyday English; often interchangeable, though 'bucket' sounds slightly more modern and general than 'pail'.)
|
container (More general; not limited to round shapes or to having a handle.)

คำนาม

quantity

amount that fills one pail
An amount of something that is enough to fill one pail.
รูปแบบการใช้:
a pail of [liquid or substance]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes forget the preposition "of" and say *"a pail water" instead of "a pail of water". They may also confuse this quantity sense with the container itself; context usually shows whether the focus is on the amount ("three pails of water") or the object ("an old metal pail").
คำพ้องความหมาย
bucketful (Informal; refers to the same kind of quantity but is formed from "bucket" instead of "pail" and is more common in everyday speech.)
|
containerful (More general and less common; refers to however much a given container can hold, not specifically a pail.)
