What are the names of these?

Hi, it wasn �t a set. Mi ss found these pics when we were working about house vocabulary. I asked them to look for pics in the magazines and I actually spent time looking for this images since I couldn �t remember the name. I �m sorry if my question was kind of dumb, but I think all of us have days in which we �re blocked.

Sorry again.

Hi Ide Bere,

don �t be sorry, your Q did not bother me at all! actually, I enjoy reading most of the questions here, and so I can clarify a lot of things (or revise)..your thread was also useful Thumbs Up And I know those situations, when you cannot remember (or you just don �t have a clue) how to say this or that in English, very well...Last time my students asked me to translate this into English LOL (now I know it is a  bridle)

I have to say that a shovel is used for shovelling (shoveling in AmE). For example, to move snow or manure, you would use a shovel. A spade tends to have a pointed (or round) sharpened edge used for digging. If you �ve ever tried digging a hole with a shovel, you �ll know what I mean.

Yours (a wee bit pedantically)

Alex is definitely right about that. The picture was of a shovel, of the kind used for moving coal. A coal shovel usually has a rectangular blade like that.
 
Yes, a broom is what is usually used with a dustpan, but that was a mop.
