How to use 带领

带领 is a verb for a person or group guiding others, often in work, school, or team settings. It usually takes a person or group as its object. Example: 老师带领学生参观博物馆。(Lǎoshī dàilǐng xuéshēng cānguān bówùguǎn.) The teacher led the students on a museum visit.

带 (dài) means to take along, and 领 (lǐng) means to lead, like holding someone by the collar. Put them together and you take people with you while you lead the way.

Common mistake: Learners often write 领 with the wrong left side or mix it up with 岭 (lǐng, mountain ridge), which sounds the same. Remember that 领 has 令 on the left and 页 on the right.
