Častá chyba:

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse this sense with the "throw away" sense and try to use objects instead of people (e.g. *"The rules dispose the waste"*). In this meaning, "dispose" takes a person as its object ("dispose him", "dispose us") and describes a change in attitude, not getting rid of something.
Význam

Kolokace

Častá chyba:
Learners may mix this business/legal sense with the waste-removal sense and think it always means "throw away". In business and law, "dispose of" often means "sell" or "transfer", not physically discard something.
Význam

Kolokace

Častá chyba:
Because this sense is formal and not very common, learners often try to use the more familiar "put" or "place" and may not recognize "disposed" as meaning "arranged" when reading. Also, learners sometimes confuse this with the "throw away" sense, but here nothing is being removed; things are just arranged.
Význam

Kolokace
disposed in a circle
|disposed around the table
|neatly disposed

|disposed along the wall
Synonyma
