# Русский A1 Common Mistakes #026
## Тема: утро / день / вечер — не путайте время и приветствие
### Короткий обзор
В прошлых уроках вы уже видели простые слова и короткие фразы для ежедневного общения. Сегодня мы делаем маленький шаг дальше и учимся **не путать похожие слова**:
- **утро** = morning
- **день** = day
- **вечер** = evening
- **утром** = in the morning
- **вечером** = in the evening
Это очень полезно, потому что в русском языке слово для времени и слово для приветствия часто выглядят по-разному.
