Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes confuse "grandparent" with "grandfather" and "grandmother". "Grandparent" is gender-neutral and can mean either the grandfather or grandmother. Another common mistake is using "grandparent" when talking about two people; in that case, the correct word is the plural "grandparents" (e.g., "My grandparents live in Italy," not "My grandparent live in Italy").
