✕Common Mistakes
L'appli te propose faire comme ça.
Proposer must be followed by the preposition de before an infinitive.

If you keep the informal "te", the pronoun should match the listener; mixing "te" and "vous" is inconsistent.

In formal writing, replace "comme ça" with "de cette façon" or "ainsi".
