Frequently used with the preposition 'under' (e.g., 'the phone is still under warranty') to indicate that the warranty period is still active. A warranty is a legal document, whereas a 'guarantee' can be a less formal promise.

常見錯誤

❌My laptop is still in warranty.
✅My laptop is still under warranty.
💡The correct preposition with warranty when indicating coverage is 'under', not 'in'.
❌The warranty is expired.' (when meaning the period)
✅The warranty has expired.' or 'The warranty period is over.
💡Use 'expire' or 'run out' for the warranty itself; 'expired' as an adjective is informal.
❌I have one year warranty.
✅I have a one-year warranty.
💡'Warranty' is a countable noun, so it needs an article when singular.
