Review Summary

اشتباهات رایج
Simple repetition is not the same as an echo word. You must use the rhyming suffix starting with 's'.
Repeating the exact word implies emphasis, not the 'and similar things' meaning of echo words.
The second word must rhyme, not match identically, to signify the generalization of the activity.
