Vartosenos šablonas:
to opt for [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes say *"we opted the red one"* without a preposition. In most cases in modern English, **opt** needs **for** or **to**: "we opted for the red one" or "we opted to buy the red one." Learners may also overuse **opt** in very simple speech where **choose** is more natural.
Sinonimai

Vartosenos šablonas:
to opt out of [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners often forget **of** and say *"opt out the program"* instead of **"opt out of the program."** They may also confuse **opt out** with **log out** or **unsubscribe**; **opt out** is usually about a long-term service, plan, or rule, not just leaving a website once.
Sinonimai
withdraw (Focuses on pulling back from something you are or could be involved in; slightly more formal in some contexts.)
Antonimai
enroll (Means to sign up or join something, the opposite of choosing not to take part.)
