- As a verb, "attract" carries the action of the sentence. Practice it in three forms — a fact about yourself, a question, and a negative — for example, turn the example sentence above into your own situation.
- Common mistake
- Don't confuse 'attractive' (good-looking/appealing) with 'attracted' (drawn to): 'I am attracted to her', not 'I am attractive to her'.
