خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "chaste" with "chased" because they sound similar. "Chaste" means sexually pure; "chased" is the past form of "chase" (to run after someone or something). Learners may also overuse "chaste" to mean simply "clean" or "pure" in non-sexual contexts, where "clean" or "pure" would be more natural.

المعنى
