follow rules, beliefs, or standards
To follow a rule, law, belief, plan, or standard carefully and not change it.
รูปแบบการใช้:
to adhere to [rules/principles/a plan/a standard]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often forget the preposition "to" and say *"adhere the rules"* instead of "adhere to the rules". Another mistake is using "adhere" when they simply mean "agree" (e.g., *"I adhere with you"*). In this sense, "adhere" is not followed by "with" and focuses on following rules or standards, not just sharing an opinion.
คำพ้องความหมาย
follow (More general and common; can be used in both formal and informal contexts, while "adhere" sounds more strict and formal.)
คำตรงข้าม
violate (Means to break or disregard a rule or law, which is the opposite of carefully adhering to it.)

stick firmly to a surface
To stick strongly to a surface and not come off easily.
รูปแบบการใช้:
to adhere to [a surface/material]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may confuse this meaning with the abstract sense of "adhere to rules" and try to use it with non-physical objects incorrectly, e.g., *"The idea adheres to me"* instead of "The idea sticks with me" or "I support the idea". For physical sticking, there is usually a real surface like skin, glass, or metal.
คำพ้องความหมาย
stick (The most common everyday word; less formal and more general than "adhere", which is often used in technical or careful descriptions.)
คำตรงข้าม
detach (Means to separate something that is attached, which is the opposite of adhering to a surface.)
