常见错误:
Learners often forget the preposition and say *"confide someone"* instead of *"confide in someone"*. Another common mistake is confusing *"confide"* with *"confident"*: *"I am confide with him"* is incorrect; it should be *"I confide in him"* (verb) or *"I am confident with him"* (adjective, but unusual in this context).
