Erreurs fréquentes	Confusing with 'abandon'., Using it incorrectly with nouns instead of actions., Mixing up past forms; 'abode' is archaic.	Confused with 'except' - remember 'accept' means to receive., Using 'accept' without an object - always specify what is being accepted., Mixing up 'accept' and 'admit' - 'accept' is about receiving, while 'admit' often implies recognition.	Confuse with 'abserve' which is not a word., Use 'observed' incorrectly with non-actions, like 'observed the chair'., Forget the preposition when used with 'something' as in 'observe at the sky' instead of 'observe the sky'.	Confusing 'submit' with 'send' - 'Submit' often implies a formal process., Using 'submit' without a clear object., Overusing 'submit' instead of simpler verbs like 'give' or 'hand in' in informal scenarios.	Confused with 'support' which can be more casual., Using it incorrectly in passive voice, e.g. 'The law is upheld by.', Mixing up the past tense; 'upholded' is incorrect.
Notes d'usage	Commonly used in legal or formal contexts. Less frequent in everyday conversation. Often paired with 'by' when referring to rules.	Used when someone agrees to something offered, like an invitation or a proposal. It's appropriate in both formal and casual contexts but may become less common in very informal speech.	Use 'observe' when you are watching something closely or carefully. It is a neutral term suitable for both formal and informal contexts, but it may not be suitable for casual conversations where simpler words like 'watch' may work better.	Used in formal and neutral contexts, such as in applications or proposals. Avoid using ‘submit’ in very casual conversations.	Often used in legal and ethical contexts, such as 'upholding the law' or 'upholding values'. It's appropriate in both formal and neutral settings but less common in casual conversations.
