False friend: to win money
Looking again at yesterday's graph, a member wrote:
Peter Rabbit and Dune didn’t win* any money in the US.
You win money in a competition e.g. a lottery.
This is a common false friend for 'earn money' (in your job) or 'make money' (in business).
So in this Task 1, the corrected sentence is:
✅ Peter Rabbit and Dune did not make any money in the UK.
✅ Neither Peter Rabbit nor Dune made any money in the UK.
Thanks for your feedback
