Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse "exacerbate" with "exaggerate" because they look similar. "Exacerbate" means to make a bad situation worse, while "exaggerate" means to say something is bigger, worse, or more important than it really is. Another common mistake is using "exacerbate" with a neutral or positive object; it should almost always take a negative noun (problem, pain, conflict, crisis, symptoms).
