عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"I am very dismay"* instead of *"I am very dismayed"*, because the verb in passive form (*be dismayed*) works like an adjective. Another mistake is using the wrong preposition, such as *"dismayed about"* where *"dismayed by/at"* is more natural: say *"She was dismayed by the news"* or *"at the decision"*, not *"about the news"* in careful writing.

عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun and the verb and write sentences like *"It dismay to me"* instead of *"To my dismay"* or *"It dismays me."* Another issue is overusing *"my dismay was"* instead of more natural patterns like *"To my dismay, ..."* or *"I watched in dismay as ..."*.
