Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "insure" with "ensure" and "assure." "Insure" is mainly about insurance (money protection), while "ensure" means "make sure" and is not about money. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, such as *insure from theft* instead of the correct *insure against theft*.

Dažna klaida:
Learners often use "insure" when "ensure" is more natural, especially in British and international English. In most non‑insurance contexts, "ensure" is preferred: say "ensure that everyone is safe," not *"insure that everyone is safe"*. Also, avoid confusing it with "assure," which means to comfort or give confidence to a person ("assure someone").
