Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes say *"The doctor healed very fast"* when they mean *"The wound healed very fast"*. Use *heal* for the injury or body part, not the doctor, in this intransitive sense. Also, instead of *"My cold healed"*, it is more natural to say *"My cold went away"* or *"I got better"*; *heal* is more common for cuts, injuries, burns, and bones.
