Erros comuns entre falantes de espanhol

A common mistake for Spanish speakers is using singular forms for clothes that are always plural in English.

• Incorreto: I need a trouser.
• Correto: I need trousers. (Always plural, like 'pants' in Spanish)

The same rule applies to:

• shorts (not 'a short')
• jeans (not 'a jean')
• shoes (not 'a shoe' if you mean a pair)
• socks (not 'a sock' if you mean a pair)
• boots (not 'a boot' if you mean a pair)

Remember to use 'a pair of' if you want to specify one item from a pair, for example, a pair of trousers.
