Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "impede" with "prevent." "Impede" means to slow or make something difficult, but it may still happen. "Prevent" means to stop something from happening completely. Also, learners may say "impede to do something"; the correct patterns are "impede something" (e.g., "impede progress") or "impede someone from doing something" (e.g., "impede them from leaving").
