Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use "herald" only for people, as in *"He heralded the boss"*, which sounds unnatural. In this sense, it is usually events or things that herald other events: "The meeting heralded changes". Also, learners may confuse it with the more common verb "announce". "Announce" is about telling people news directly, while "herald" is about being a sign that something is coming.

Learners may say *"herald someone"* when they mean praise them, but this sense is usually followed by "as" plus a description: "She was heralded as a hero", not *"People heralded her"* on its own. Also, some learners mix it up with "highlight"; "herald" focuses on big, often early public praise, while "highlight" means to point out something important.
