Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use "beseech" as if it meant a normal, everyday "ask." In modern English, "beseech" is rare and very strong; it sounds dramatic, emotional, or literary. Learners also sometimes say "beseech for someone" or "beseech for doing"; the usual patterns are "beseech someone to do something" or "beseech someone for something" (e.g. "beseech him for help").
