Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use "sack" instead of the more common word "bag" in everyday speech. In many situations, especially with small or everyday items, native speakers prefer "bag" (e.g. "shopping bag" not *"shopping sack"). "Sack" is more common for large or rough bags, or in some regional varieties such as American English "paper sack" for grocery bags.
