Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'proactive' with 'reactive'. 'Proactive' means you act early, before something happens; 'reactive' means you answer after something happens. Another common mistake is using it like a noun (*"We need a proactive"*). Instead, use it before a noun or after 'be', as in 'a proactive plan' or 'we need to be proactive'.
