Dažna klaida:
Learners often confuse "exempt" with "except." "Exempt" means "not required to do/pay something," while "except" means "not including." Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is almost always "exempt from," not "exempt of" or "exempt to."

to exempt [someone/something] from [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes use the verb without the preposition "from," e.g. *"The law exempts students the exam"* instead of "exempts students from the exam." Another error is using it where a simple verb like "excuse" or "free" is more natural in informal speech.
Sinonimai
excuse (More general and less formal; can be social or personal, not only legal or official.)
Antonimai
obligate (Means to make someone legally or morally bound to do something.)
