Модель уживання:
buried in [a/the] cemetery
Поширена помилка:
Learners often confuse "cemetery" and "graveyard". In modern English they can usually be used the same way, but "graveyard" is more often next to a church, while a "cemetery" can be larger and separate. Another common mistake is spelling: the correct form is "cemetery" (ending in -ery), not *"cemetary". Also note the plural spelling "cemeteries" (y → ies).
Синоніми
