اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "prophetic" with "pathetic" because they sound similar. "Prophetic" is about predicting the future, while "pathetic" means very sad or weak and makes you feel pity. Learners may also think "prophetic" must be religious, but in modern English it is often used in general contexts for predictions that come true.
