Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often say *“I need to buy grocery”* or *“I don't have much grocery”*. In this meaning, English almost always uses the plural form **groceries**: *“buy groceries”*, *“I don't have many groceries”*. The singular **a grocery** usually refers to a store, not to one item of food.

Learners sometimes say *“I go to grocery”* instead of **“I go to the grocery store”** or **“I go to the grocery”** (with a determiner).
