action taken to prevent harm

Something you do before something happens to stop danger or problems.

استعمال کا انداز: to take [precautions] against [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"do precautions"* instead of *"take precautions"*. Use the verb *take*. Also, *precaution* is often used in the plural (*take precautions*), especially for general safety, and can be confused with *warning*, which is information about danger, not the action to prevent it.

careful attitude to avoid risk

The careful way of acting to stop danger or problems before they happen.

استعمال کا انداز: with [precaution] in [doing something]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
carefulness (General word for being careful; not limited to preventing future danger but overlaps strongly in meaning.) | prudence (A formal word stressing wise, cautious behavior when making decisions about possible risks.)
متضاد الفاظ
