Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"rethink about something"*, copying the pattern from "think about." The verb "rethink" is normally used without a preposition: "We need to rethink the plan," not "rethink about the plan." Another mistake is confusing "rethink" with "overthink": "rethink" means to think again and possibly change a decision, while "overthink" means to think too much in a way that causes stress or confusion.
