よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse 'entreaty' with 'treaty'. A 'treaty' is an official agreement between countries, while an 'entreaty' is a serious request. Another common mistake is trying to use 'entreaty' as a verb; the verb form is 'entreat' (e.g., 'She entreated him to stay,' not 'She entreatied him to stay').
