Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use "encampment" for any place where one or two people put up a tent, but in modern English it usually refers to a larger, organized group of tents or shelters (for example, for refugees, soldiers, or protesters). Many learners also try to use "encampment" as a verb, but the verb form is "to encamp"; "encampment" is only a noun.
