자주 하는 실수：
Learners often confuse this meaning with the 'forgive/ignore' meaning. In this sense, 'overlook' usually means you did not see or think about something, often by accident. If you see the problem but decide not to act on it, that is the other sense (to overlook = to ignore or forgive). Also, learners sometimes say *'overlook at something'*; the verb here is transitive and does not take 'at': say 'overlook a problem', not 'overlook at a problem'.
