よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "apprehend" with the more common verb "comprehend" because they look similar. "Apprehend" in this sense means to arrest someone, while "comprehend" means to understand something. Many situations where beginners try to use "apprehend" (e.g., "I apprehend your point") actually require "understand" or "comprehend".
