Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse "impede" with "prevent." "Impede" means to slow or make something difficult, but it may still happen. "Prevent" means to stop something from happening completely. Also, learners may say "impede to do something"; the correct patterns are "impede something" (e.g., "impede progress") or "impede someone from doing something" (e.g., "impede them from leaving").

|
hamper (Suggests restricting or limiting activity, often by adding difficulties rather than a direct block.)
|
delay (Focuses on causing something to happen later, without always suggesting a physical block.)
Từ trái nghĩa
facilitate (Means to make an action or process easier, the opposite of making it harder.)
|
enable (Means to make something possible or easier instead of slowing or blocking it.)
