Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "entrust" with "trust" and use it without an object, saying *"I entrust him"* instead of the correct patterns "I entrust him with the project" or "I entrust the project to him." Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, e.g. *"entrust with to"* or *"entrust in"*. The natural patterns are "entrust someone with something" and "entrust something to someone."

Dažna klaida:
Learners may overuse more basic words like "give" or "put" in formal financial or legal contexts where "entrust" is more precise, for example saying *"They gave their money to the bank"* instead of "They entrusted their money to the bank" when the idea of trusted management is important. They may also forget that this sense is quite formal and not usually used for everyday small items.
