How to use 落实

落实 is common in work, news and government language for putting a plan, policy or task into practice. It often takes objects like 政策 (zhèngcè, policy), 计划 (jìhuà, plan) or 任务 (rènwu, task). Example: 我们要落实这个计划。(Wǒmen yào luòshí zhège jìhuà.) We need to carry out this plan.

落 (luò) means to fall or land, and 实 (shí) means solid or real. A plan that lands on solid ground has been carried out for real.

Common mistake: Learners often use 落实 where 实现 (shíxiàn) fits better. 落实 means putting a plan or policy into action, while 实现 means achieving a goal or dream, so say 实现梦想, not 落实梦想.
