Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes say *"I adore to do something"* (e.g., *"I adore to swim"*). In natural English, we usually say *"I adore doing something"* (e.g., *"I adore swimming"*) or use a noun: *"I adore this sport."* Another issue is overusing "adore" where simple "like" or "love" is better; "adore" usually sounds stronger and more emotional.
