Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes confuse "subsidize" with "substitute" because they look similar. "Subsidize" means to give money support, while "substitute" means to replace one thing with another. Another mistake is using it without an object, for example *"The government subsidizes"* instead of *"The government subsidizes farmers"* or *"The government subsidizes public transport"*.
