常見錯誤

The plan is feasible to be done.
The plan is feasible.
💡'feasible' already means 'able to be done', so 'to be done' is redundant.
It is feasible to possible.
It is feasible.' or 'It is possible.
💡'feasible' and 'possible' are similar but not interchangeable; 'feasible' requires practical achievability, not just theoretical possibility.
