Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse 'influential' with the verb 'influence'. 'Influential' is an adjective and must describe a noun, as in 'an influential leader', not 'he influential me'. Another mistake is using the wrong preposition: we usually say 'influential in doing something' or 'influential in [area]', for example, 'She was influential in changing the law', rather than 'influential on changing the law'.
Sinonime
powerful (Often suggests formal power or control; 'influential' can be softer and more about ideas or respect than direct power.)
|
persuasive (Focuses on the ability to convince others in a particular situation, while 'influential' is more general and long-term.)
Antonime
powerless (Describes someone who has no ability to change a situation, the opposite of having influence.)
|
insignificant (Describes someone or something that has little importance or effect, unlike something influential.)
