- Seguir: No sentido mais literal de ir atrás de alguém ou algo. Exemplo: "Eu vou seguir você" ("I will follow you").
- Acompanhar: Pode ser usado em um contexto onde você está prestando atenção a algo ao longo do tempo. Exemplo: "Estou acompanhando as notícias" ("I'm following the news").
- Obedecer: Quando se refere a seguir regras ou instruções. Exemplo: "É importante obedecer às leis" ("It's important to follow the laws").
