Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse 'influential' with the verb 'influence'. 'Influential' is an adjective and must describe a noun, as in 'an influential leader', not 'he influential me'. Another mistake is using the wrong preposition: we usually say 'influential in doing something' or 'influential in [area]', for example, 'She was influential in changing the law', rather than 'influential on changing the law'.
