Errori comuni	Confused with 'fed' as the past tense., Using 'to feed' with an object before the subject., Mistakenly using 'feed' as a noun when it should be a verb.	Confusing nourish with just feed; nourish implies a deeper level of care., Using nourish intransitively; nourish must have an object., Not using it in metaphorical contexts, where it can mean supporting development emotionally or intellectually.	Confusing with 'supply' which has a slightly different scope., Using 'provide' without an object, which is incorrect., Using a wrong preposition; 'provide to' is less common than 'provide with'.	Confusing with 'supplement' when more than just providing is meant, Using as a noun instead of a verb, e.g., 'to supply' vs 'the supply', Incorrectly conjugating the verb in different tenses	'Sustain' is often confused with 'sustained' as a past form., Learners sometimes forget to add an object after 'sustain'., 'Sustain' is misused when referring to temporary situations, instead of ongoing support.
Note d'uso	Commonly used when talking about giving food to animals or children. Not usually used in formal contexts. Avoid using it in contexts where you mean 'nourish' in a more abstract sense.	Used in both literal and metaphorical contexts. Suitable for formal writing, but also common in everyday conversation when talking about food or emotional support.	Use 'provide' when discussing giving something necessary or essential. Generally neutral but can be formal in legal contexts.	Use 'supply' when referring to providing goods or resources. It is neutral and can be used in business, education, and everyday contexts. Avoid using it in very casual conversations.	Use 'sustain' in contexts about keeping something alive or supporting it over time. It can be formal when discussing topics like environmental issues or less formal in conversations about personal interests.
