Allude - Elude

Allude is always followed by the preposition to.

When you allude to someone or something, you refer to them or mention them, especially in a brief or indirect way.

Ex:

- She said something about a local celebrity. Who do you think she was alluding to?

- I was alluding to the poem by Shakespeare that begins "Shall i compare these to a summer's day?"

Elude, on the other hand, is a rather formal word meaning to "escape" or "avoid". When you elude someone, you succeed in not being caught by them. Elude is often used figuratively as well. If you say that something such as a person's name eludes you, you are unable to remember it.

Ex:

- They eluded their pursuers by disguising themselves as clowns and joining the parade.

- I can recite most of the poem, but the very last line eludes me, i'm afraid.
