Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use 'utilize' in very casual speech or writing where 'use' is more natural, making their English sound too stiff or unnatural. Another common mistake is saying '*utilize to do something*' without an object, instead of 'utilize [something] to do something'. Always include the thing being used as the object: 'utilize this method to save time', not '*utilize to save time*'.
