Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use *exert* with general objects like "exert money" or "exert a job"; this is incorrect. *Exert* is normally used with abstract nouns like *pressure, influence, control, authority,* or *power*. Another mistake is to say *"do pressure"* or *"make pressure"* instead of the natural collocation *"exert pressure"*.
