用法筆記

Heedful is much less common than careful or attentive. It is usually followed by 'of' when you name the thing being considered, especially a warning, risk, person's needs, or piece of advice.

常見錯誤

Say 'heedful of the warning', not 'heedful to the warning'. The usual preposition is 'of'.

In everyday conversation, 'careful' or 'attentive' is usually more natural than the formal word 'heedful'.
