اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun 'refusal' with the verb 'refuse'. Use 'refusal' with a determiner (e.g., 'his refusal', 'the refusal') and often with 'to' + verb: 'her refusal to go'. Do not say *'his refuse to go' or *'he made a refuse'. Also note the preposition: 'refusal of an offer', not *'refusal for an offer'.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners may forget the preposition and say *'refusal for a visa' instead of 'refusal of a visa'. In official written English, 'refusal of' is much more natural than *'refusal to' before a noun: write 'refusal of planning permission', not *'refusal to planning permission'.
معنی
official decision to deny
