Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes write *"envisage to do something"* (e.g. *"I envisage to live abroad"*). The correct patterns are *"envisage doing something"* or *"envisage that I will do something"*, or simply *"envisage living abroad"*. Another confusion is between "envisage" and the more common verb "imagine"; in everyday speech, "imagine" is usually safer and more natural.

Also, in formal writing, *"is envisaged to"* and *"is envisaged that"* are common passive patterns that learners may underuse.
