Stop using “Groupmates” in English.
In many countries, especially in post-Soviet regions, students often say:
❌ My groupmates and I went to the library.
❌ I have 10 groupmates in my class.
But in natural English, the word “groupmate” is not commonly used. It sounds unnatural to native speakers.
Instead, say:
Classmates – people who study in the same class (school, university, language course - doesn't matter)
• My classmates and I studied together.
Fellow students – more formal or written
• They should discuss the topic with their fellow students.
Teammates – if you work together on a project or in sports
• My teammates and I finished our group presentation.
❌ “Groupmate” = understandable, but sounds awkward or made-up in most English-speaking countries.
