Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"We are unite"* when they mean *"We unite"* (present simple verb) or *"We are united"* (adjective describing a state). Another issue is overusing *"unite"* instead of the more common verb *"join";* for example, *"I united the club"* is wrong, and should be *"I joined the club."* Both *"unite"* and *"unite together"* are heard, but *"unite"* alone is usually enough.
