טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes use *broaden* for clearly physical things where *widen* is more natural, for example, saying "They broadened the door" instead of "They widened the door." Another mistake is adding an unnecessary particle, such as *broaden up*, which is incorrect; the correct form is simply *broaden*.
