常见错误：
Learners often say *"await for"* (e.g., *"I await for your reply"*). This is incorrect because "await" is already a transitive verb and does not take "for". Say *"I await your reply"* or *"I am waiting for your reply"*. Another common mistake is using "await" in very casual conversation where "wait for" is more natural.

常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse this with the simple "wait for" sense and try to say *"a hard time waits for you"* in contexts where native speakers prefer *"a hard time awaits you"* or *"a hard time is waiting for you"*. With this sense, "await" often makes the sentence shorter and more natural.
