Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"endanger of"* (e.g., *"Smoking endangers of your health"*). The correct pattern is *"endanger [someone/something]"* with no preposition: *"Smoking endangers your health."* Another mistake is using *"is endanger"* instead of the adjective *"is endangered"*: say *"The species is endangered"* (adjective), or *"Pollution endangers the species"* (verb).
