Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often say *"convict someone for a crime"* instead of the more natural legal pattern *"convict someone of a crime"*. Another confusion is using "convict" without an object, as in *"The judge convicted"*; it almost always needs a person as an object: *"The judge convicted the man."*

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse this meaning with the legal verb and think it always involves a court. In this sense, there is no judge or trial; it is about strong moral or inner guilt, often in religious writing. It is also more formal or literary; in everyday speech people more often say "made me feel guilty" than "convicted me."
