Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "reassure" with "ensure" or "insure". "Reassure" means to make a person feel less worried. "Ensure" means to make sure something happens, and does not take a person as the object in the same way (you "ensure success", but you "reassure your friend"). Another mistake is saying *"reassure to someone"*; the correct pattern is "reassure someone" or "reassure someone that..." without "to".
