자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes use *thwart* like an adjective (e.g., *I am thwart*). The correct forms are *I feel thwarted* or *My plans were thwarted*. Another mistake is using *thwart* with an infinitive (e.g., *They thwarted him to escape*). Instead, use a noun or -ing form: *They thwarted his escape* or *They thwarted him from escaping* (more formal).
