1
to relate to; be about
to be about something or have a clear connection to it
Corak penggunaan:
pertain to [something]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners often omit the preposition and say *"This rule pertains this case"* instead of *"pertains to this case"*. Another mistake is using *pertain* in very casual speech where *"be about"* or *"relate to"* is more natural. Learners may also confuse *pertain* with *retain* or *contain* because of similar spelling.
