Usage notes
- Use 'seguire' for following people, instructions, or interests. Use 'inseguire' for chasing (physically pursuing).
- Auxiliary is 'avere' in compound tenses (ho seguito), but 'essere' when intransitive (sono seguito dopo).
- Common mistake: confusing 'seguire' (to follow) with 'seguitare' (to continue), which is less common.
