عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "intent" (noun) with "intense" (adjective). They may also say *"I have an intent to"* in casual speech, where native speakers more often say "I intend to" or "I plan to". Use "intent" more in formal or careful contexts, especially in writing.

عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"intent to"* with an adjective structure, as in *"She is intent to win"*. The natural pattern is "be intent on [verb+ing]": "She is intent on winning." Also, do not confuse with the verb "intend"; you say "I intend to win" but "I am intent on winning."
