Частые ошибкиUsing 'activates' when the subject is plural., Confusing with 'initiate' in more formal contexts., Misplacing the object (e.g., 'activate to system' instead of 'activate the system').Confused with 'enable' vs 'enable to' — remember 'enable' is followed directly by the object., Using 'enabled' incorrectly in present tense — it should match the subject in tense., Mixing up 'enable' and 'allow' — 'enable' implies making possible, while 'allow' means giving permission.Confused with 'enrage' – different meanings., Using 'engage' without an object, which can sound incomplete., Mixing up the forms, like using 'engaged' as a verb instead of an adjective.
