Common mistakes

عادت کردن به چیزی یا کسی

Say: I 'm accustomed to hot weather.

Note : Also used to : He is used to the heat.

٢. Ashamed of, not from

Say : He 's now ashamed of his conduct.

معنای shyو Ashamed کاملا با هم فرق می کند.shy به معنای خجالت کشیدن است

ولی ashamed یعنی شرمنده شدن .

Note ; It 's not correct to use ashamed of meaning shy

Ashamed means feeling shame or guilt about sth

Shy  means  feeling  nervous  with  someone.

Instead of saying : I 'm ashamed  ( or shamed ) of my teacher

Say: I 'm shy of my teacher.
