자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "pave" with "paint" or "cover" in general. "Pave" is specifically used for making a hard surface for walking or driving, usually with concrete, asphalt, or stones. Another mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is natural to say "pave the road with concrete," not *"pave the road by concrete."

Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is usually "pave the way for something," not *"pave the way to something" when talking about events or changes.
