Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use *convene* for very casual meetings (like two friends having coffee), where *meet* or *get together* is more natural. *Convene* is usually used for organized, planned, and often formal group meetings. Some learners also confuse *convene* with *convenient* or *convenience* because they look similar, but those words are about something being easy or suitable, not about meeting.

Learners sometimes say *"convene people"* without mentioning the meeting, which can sound odd. It is more natural to say *"convene a meeting"*, *"convene a committee"*, or *"convene a group". Also, learners may choose *convene* in very informal work situations, where *have a meeting* or *call a meeting* sounds more natural.
