Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "beware" with "be aware" and say *"beware of that the road is icy" instead of "beware, the road is icy" or "be aware that the road is icy". Another common mistake is leaving out the preposition "of" in the usual pattern, saying *"beware scams" instead of "beware of scams". Also, "beware" is almost never used in progressive forms; avoid phrases like *"I am bewearing of dogs" and use "I beware of dogs" or, more naturally, "I am careful with dogs".
