خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use *watchful* like a verb (e.g., *He watchful the children*). Remember that *watchful* is an adjective, so it is usually used after *be* or before a noun (e.g., *He is watchful*, *a watchful guard*). It also describes observing the surroundings, not being careful about your own actions; for that, *careful* is often better.
