خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse the verb "incense" with the noun "incense" (the thing you burn for a nice smell). As a verb, the stress is usually on the second syllable (in-CENSE), and it always means "to make very angry," not "to make something smell good." Learners also sometimes try to use it with an infinitive, like *"The news incensed him to leave"*; instead say "The news incensed him" or "The news made him leave."
