Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes say *"I am very urgent"* to talk about their own time pressure. In English, we usually say *"I am in a hurry"* or *"It is urgent"* (about the situation), not that a person is urgent. Another confusion is with *"emergent"*, which is rare in everyday English; use *"urgent"* instead when you mean something needs quick action.
