make sure rules or laws are obeyed

To make people follow a rule, law, or decision, usually by using power or authority.

الگوی کاربرد: to enforce [a law/rule/ban/decision]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "enforce" with "force" and "impose". "Enforce" almost always takes an abstract object like a law, rule, or policy (e.g., "enforce the rules"), not a person (we do NOT say *"enforce him to leave"; instead say "force him to leave"). Learners also mix up "enforce" and "reinforce": "enforce" is about making people obey rules; "reinforce" is about making something stronger (e.g., "reinforce an argument").

ignore (To choose not to notice or deal with a rule or law, the opposite of making sure it is followed.) | overlook (To fail to notice or deliberately not act on a violation of a rule, instead of acting to enforce it.)

الگوی کاربرد: to enforce [an argument/view/request]
اشتباه رایج:
In modern English, speakers usually prefer "reinforce" instead of "enforce" for this meaning. Using "enforce" here can sound overly formal or old-fashioned. Learners should normally choose "reinforce an idea/argument" rather than "enforce an idea/argument" in everyday use.
هم‌معنی‌ها
reinforce (The most common modern verb for this meaning; focuses clearly on making an idea or feeling stronger.) | underline (Emphasizes drawing special attention to an idea rather than making it stronger in a logical way.)
