Errore comune:
Learners sometimes use “accrue” for sudden changes, e.g. *"The price accrued by $10 today"*, which is unnatural. Use “accrue” only for amounts that grow slowly over time. Another common mistake is confusing it with “occur,” e.g. *"problems accrued"* when they mean *"problems occurred"*.
