اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'sue' with 'prosecute'. You 'sue' someone in civil law to get money or another remedy, but the government 'prosecutes' someone in criminal law for a crime. Another common mistake is spelling: 'sue' (legal action) is different from 'sew' (join cloth with a needle).
