Common mistakes
Don't use 公认 as a transitive verb with a direct object like *我们公认他.* Instead, say 我们公认他是英雄 or use it in a passive-like structure: 他被公认为英雄.
Formality
公认 is typically used in formal contexts such as news, academic writing, or official statements. In casual speech, 大家都说 or 一般人都觉得 is more natural.
Example Sentences
1 shown他是 公认 的好老师。
