Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse "annex" with the more general verbs "take" or "occupy". "Annex" is usually used in political or legal contexts for land or territory that becomes an official part of a country. It is often negative in modern news reports, especially when done without international agreement. Do not use "annex" for taking small personal things (use "take" or "steal").

seize (Focuses on taking something by force; does not always imply formal legal incorporation like "annex".)
