Kesalahan umum:
Learners often confuse “directive” with “direction.” “Directions” are step-by-step instructions (for example, how to go somewhere or how to use a machine). A “directive” is usually a single formal order from an authority. Also, learners sometimes say *“do a directive”* instead of *“issue a directive”* or *“follow a directive.”*
