Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often forget the preposition "to" and say *"adhere the rules"* instead of "adhere to the rules". Another mistake is using "adhere" when they simply mean "agree" (e.g., *"I adhere with you"*). In this sense, "adhere" is not followed by "with" and focuses on following rules or standards, not just sharing an opinion.
