Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "mislead" with "misunderstand." "Mislead" is what a person or thing does to someone else (A misleads B), while "misunderstand" is what the listener or reader does (B misunderstands A). Another common mistake is using the wrong pattern: say "mislead someone about something" or "mislead someone into doing something," not "mislead about someone."
