- As an adjective, "aware" describes a noun — it goes before the noun ("a aware idea") or after "be/seem/become" ("it seems aware"). Practice it by describing something real around you right now.
- Common mistake
- Say 'aware of something' or 'aware that' — never 'aware about': 'aware of the problem'.
