Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use "stroll" as a transitive verb, for example *"I strolled my dog"*. In English, you do not stroll someone or something; you stroll yourself, usually *somewhere* ("I strolled through the park"). Another confusion is using "stroll" when you actually mean moving quickly; "stroll" always suggests a calm, unhurried pace.

This use is informal and more common in sports reporting, especially in British English.
