常见错误：
Learners often say *"inflict to"* instead of *"inflict on"*. The correct pattern is *"inflict [something] on [someone/something]"*, for example: *"The war inflicted great suffering on the country"*, not *"inflicted great suffering to the country"*. Another mistake is using *"inflict"* for neutral or positive things; it is used only for harmful or very unpleasant things.
