Gyakori hiba:
Learners often confuse 'migrate', 'immigrate', and 'emigrate'. Use 'migrate' for the general movement of people or groups. Use 'emigrate from' to talk about leaving a country, and 'immigrate to' to talk about entering a new country. Example: 'They migrated during the drought', 'They emigrated from Syria', 'They immigrated to Canada'. Another mistake is adding an object: *'They migrated themselves to the city' is incorrect; say 'They migrated to the city'.
