ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often confuse "averse" with "adverse". "Averse" describes a person’s feeling (She is averse to violence), while "adverse" describes things that are harmful or negative (adverse effects, adverse weather). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: it is always "averse to", not *"averse of" or *"averse from". Also, "averse" is not used directly before a noun (*"an averse person" is unusual); instead use "be averse to [noun/verb-ing]".
