How to use 实施

实施 is a formal verb used for plans, policies, laws, and measures, often in news and official writing. It usually takes objects like 计划 (jìhuà), 政策 (zhèngcè), or 措施 (cuòshī). Example: 新政策下个月开始实施。(Xīn zhèngcè xià ge yuè kāishǐ shíshī.) The new policy will be implemented starting next month.

实 (shí) means real or solid, and 施 (shī) means to apply or put into action. To 实施 is to make a plan real by actually applying it.

Common mistake: Learners often confuse 实施 with 实现 (shíxiàn). 实施 means carrying out a plan, while 实现 means achieving a goal or dream, so say 实现梦想, not 实施梦想. Also keep the tones level: shí is second tone and shī is first tone.
