Common Mistakes

  ✓ Can I have an extra blanket?

  'Cover' is too generic. Specify 'blanket' to get the warm bed cover you need.

• ✗ The room is cold, please bring me a plus blanket.

  ✓ The room is cold, please bring me an extra blanket.

  Use 'extra' or 'additional' to mean more of something, not 'plus'.
