Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes use "very strictly rules" instead of the correct order "very strict rules" (adjective) or "follow the rules strictly" (adverb). Another mistake is using "strict" instead of "strictly" with verbs, e.g. "The school strict follows the rules" instead of "The school strictly follows the rules."
