Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes say *"I am astound"* instead of *"I am astounded"* when using the past participle as an adjective. Use "astound" as the base verb ("They astound me") and "astounded" for the feeling ("I am astounded by this news"). Learners may also overuse "astound" where "surprise" or "amaze" is more natural in everyday speech, making their language sound too strong or dramatic.
