think again about a decision
To think again about a decision or idea to see if you still agree with it or want to change it.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
to reconsider [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say *"reconsider about something"* (e.g., *"I will reconsider about my job"*). In English, *reconsider* takes a direct object: *"I will reconsider my job"* or *"I will reconsider it"*. Another mistake is using an infinitive instead of a gerund: say *"reconsider changing jobs"*, not *"reconsider to change jobs"*. Learners also sometimes use *reconsider* where simple *consider* is better; *reconsider* implies you have already thought or decided once before.

formally review an official decision
To officially look again at a past decision in law, government, or an organization, and decide if it should stay the same or be changed.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
to reconsider [a case/decision/ruling]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners may not realize this is a more formal, legal or bureaucratic use. In these contexts, *reconsider* often appears with nouns like *case, ruling, motion, sentence,* or *decision*, and can be part of fixed phrases like *"motion to reconsider"*. Do not confuse it with a casual personal change of mind; here it describes an official process.
Συνώνυμα

|
appeal (Focuses on asking a higher authority to change a decision, not just to look at it again.)
Αντώνυμα
uphold (Legal/official term meaning to keep a decision the same after reviewing it.)
|
