English Usage

| Habit|vs |Custom|
تعني habit عادة،وهي كلمة تقترن بالأشخاص ، اما custom فهي ايضا عادة ولكنها تستخدم للمجتمعات او الدول ويمكن التوضيح بالامثلة التالية:
Telling lies is a very bad habit
The Chainese have strange custom

|Toe|vs|Finger|
نستخدم finger بمعنى اصبع اليد بينما تستخدم toe بمعنى اصبع القدم ،لذلك فمن الخطأ ان نقول مثلا:
I hurt a finger of my right foot
والصواب هو ان نستخدم كلمة toe في مثل هذا السياق

|Biennial|vs|Biannual|
تعني biannual مرتين في السنة ،اما الإصطلاح الآخر فيعني مرة كل سنتين

|Arrived to|vs|Arrived at|
تعني arrived to ان الشخص قد وصل الى مكان معين، اماarrived at فتعني انه توصل الى اتفاق او استنتاج او حل لمشكلة معينة إلخ ، فمثلا:
.He arrived to Alexandria
He arrived at an agreement
