Common Mistakes

• ✗ Please confirm me the details of the meeting.

  ✓ Please confirm the details of the meeting with me.

  'Confirm' takes a direct object (the information), not the person. You do not 'confirm someone' something directly without a preposition.

• ✗ We need to make confirm the details.

  ✓ We need to confirm the details.

  'Confirm' is already a verb; do not use 'make' before it.
