常見錯誤

I bought two admittances to the show.
I bought two tickets to the show.
admittance is uncountable; you cannot count it. Use 'ticket' or 'entry' for items you buy.
He got an admittance into the building.
He gained admittance to the building.
no article 'an' before this uncountable noun, and the usual preposition is 'to', not 'into'.
