常见错误：
Learners often confuse "sate" with the much more common verb "satisfy". "Sate" is correct but formal and less frequent, so in everyday speech "satisfy" is usually better. Another mistake is using it without an object, e.g. saying *"I sated"* instead of "I sated my hunger". Also, learners sometimes mispronounce it as /sæt/; the correct pronunciation rhymes with "late" (/seɪt/).
