make an entreaty to [someone] to [verb]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse 'entreaty' with 'treaty'. A 'treaty' is an official agreement between countries, while an 'entreaty' is a serious request. Another common mistake is trying to use 'entreaty' as a verb; the verb form is 'entreat' (e.g., 'She entreated him to stay,' not 'She entreatied him to stay').
Từ đồng nghĩa
plea (Very close in meaning, slightly more common and neutral in tone than the formal-sounding 'entreaty'.)
|
appeal (Can sound slightly less emotional and is used more broadly, including in legal or official contexts.)
|
imploration (Even stronger sense of emotional begging, often more dramatic than 'entreaty'.)
Từ trái nghĩa
command (A forceful order given with authority, the opposite of a humble or emotional request.)
