Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes say 'rebuke to someone' when they mean the action of speaking to the person; for the verb, you rebuke someone, not 'to someone'. Also, learners may use 'rebuke' in everyday casual speech where 'tell off' or 'scold' would sound more natural; 'rebuke' often sounds formal or written. The preposition is usually 'for' when giving the reason: 'rebuke someone for doing something', not 'rebuke someone about doing something'.
