Nasıl kullanılır

The verb 'avoid' typically implies making an effort to prevent something from happening or to stay away from someone or something. A common mistake is to use 'avoid' with a gerund (e.g., 'avoid doing something') rather than an infinitive. For example, 'I avoided eating the cake' is correct, while 'I avoided to eat the cake' is incorrect.
