Поширена помилка:
Learners often confuse "forsake" with the phrase "for the sake of" because they look similar. They are unrelated: "forsake" means to abandon, while "for the sake of" means "for the benefit of" or "for the purpose of." Another issue is using "forsake" in very casual contexts where "leave" or "abandon" is more natural in modern English.

Поширена помилка:
Learners may overuse "forsake" instead of more natural verbs like "stop," "quit," or "give up" in everyday speech. In modern English, "forsake" sounds formal or literary, so phrases like *"I forsook smoking"* are grammatically correct but unnaturally stiff in casual conversation; "I quit smoking" is more natural.
