Μοτίβο χρήσης:
disobedience to [someone/something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun "disobedience" with the adjective "disobedient" and the verb "disobey". Use: "His disobedience was a problem" (noun), "He is disobedient" (adjective), and "He disobeyed the rules" (verb). Another mistake is saying *"do a disobedience"*; instead say "show disobedience" or "an act of disobedience".
