I've come across a few common mistakes
made by the incorrect use of words that may sound similar.
Here is
one of them.
Consent
Consent
means permission / approval / agreement
For
example :
1)
I need your consent
before
I can proceed further with the task.
2)
Without his consent,
action cannot be taken.
3)
Please give me your consent
to my request.
4)
He consented
to the request for more staff.
*
Another word that you can use is green
light.
Green
light also
means permission / approval / consent.
For
example :
1)
She has received the green
light to
proceed with the project.
2)
Without the government's green
light,
we cannot do anything.
Concern
Concern
Concern
means
1)
To trouble or worry
For example :
A)
I am concerned
about her health.
B)
Thanks for the concern.
C)
I was touched with the concern
she
showed when her friend was in
trouble.
2) To be related or connected with something / To be interested in something
2) To be related or connected with something / To be interested in something
For
example :
A)
We should be worried as the flood situation in Thailand concerns
us
all.
B)
Please pay attention as this announcement is of concern
to all of us.
C)
We did not have to worry as she concerned
herself with every aspect of the project.
