Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun 'enthusiast' with the adjective 'enthusiastic'. Use 'enthusiast' as a noun for a person (e.g., 'She is a music enthusiast') and 'enthusiastic' before a noun or after 'be' as an adjective (e.g., 'She is enthusiastic about music'). Another mistake is saying '*He is enthusiast about football'; this is incorrect. Say 'He is an enthusiast of/for football' or 'He is enthusiastic about football'.

Also, do not use it as a verb in this sense; say 'He supports the plan', not '*He enthusiasts the plan'.
