- How to use it
- As an adjective, "convenient" describes a noun — it goes before the noun ("a convenient idea") or after "be/seem/become" ("it seems convenient"). Practice it by describing something real around you right now.
- Common mistake
- Do not say 'it is convenient for me to go' with a person as the subject of going — prefer 'it is convenient for me' or 'it suits me'.
