常见错误:
Learners sometimes confuse "devise" (verb: to plan or invent) with "device" (noun: a machine or tool). Another mistake is using it without an object, e.g. saying *"We devised"* instead of *"We devised a plan"*. Also, remember the spelling: "devise" with an "s"; the noun "device" ends with "-ce".
