1
use power, influence, or pressure
To use power, influence, or pressure to make something happen or change.
用法パターン：
[someone] exerts [power/pressure/influence] (on [someone/something])
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use *exert* with general objects like "exert money" or "exert a job"; this is incorrect. *Exert* is normally used with abstract nouns like *pressure, influence, control, authority,* or *power*. Another mistake is to say *"do pressure"* or *"make pressure"* instead of the natural collocation *"exert pressure"*.

make a lot of effort
To work very hard, especially with your body or mind, usually so hard that it makes you tired.
用法パターン：
[someone] exerts [themself] (to [do something])
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *"exert a lot"* without an object, but in this sense English speakers usually say *"exert yourself"*. Another mistake is to say *"exert an effort"*; the natural phrase is *"make an effort"*. Use *exert yourself* for pushing your body or mind hard.
類義語
strain (Suggests pushing yourself so hard that it may cause pain or damage.)
|
endeavor (A more formal verb for making a serious effort, often used with goals or tasks.)
対義語

apply a physical force
To use or put a physical force or pressure on something so that it is pushed, pulled, or changed.
用法パターン：
[something] exerts [a force/pressure] on [something]
よくある間違い：
In technical contexts, learners sometimes prefer only *"apply"* and do not recognize that *"exert"* is a very common verb with *force* and *pressure* in science texts. Also, they may incorrectly say *"exert on a force"*; the correct pattern is *"exert a force on something"*.
類義語
apply (In technical contexts, often used in similar structures like "apply a force"; slightly broader and more general.)
|
exercise (In scientific or legal language, can mean to put a force or power into action.)
