Dažna klaida:
Learners often forget the preposition and say *"embark a new project"* instead of *"embark on a new project"*. Another mistake is using *embark* for very small or casual actions where *start* is more natural (e.g. *"embark on making dinner"* sounds too formal; *"start making dinner"* is better).
