பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners often confuse "contend" with "content" (meaning satisfied). They may also try to use "contend" in very casual speech where "say" or "think" is more natural. Another mistake is leaving out the clause: you usually contend something specific, often using "that" (e.g., "They contend that the law is unfair.").
பொருள்
