用法說明
How is "Admit" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Admit"?
admit doing vs admit to doing
- admit doing 表示「承認做了某事」，直接承認一個事實或行為。
- admit to doing 也表示「承認做了某事」，介系詞
to在這裡是「關於、對於」的意思，後面接名詞或動名詞。兩者在許多情況下可以互換，但admit to有時語氣稍強，更強調「對某項指控或事實的承認」。 - 注意：admit to do 是錯誤的，
admit後面不能接不定詞 (to + 原形動詞) 來表示承認的內容。 - 在
would admit to的結構中，to後面也必須接動名詞或名詞。 EN: He admitted stealing the money. 翻譯: 他承認偷了錢。
EN:He admitted to a feeling of guilt.
翻譯:他承認有罪惡感。
總結建議
在表示「承認某事」時，使用 admit doing 或 admit to doing 皆可，但切記不可使用 admit to do。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Admit" and similar words?How to choose "Admit" vs alternatives?
admit vs confess

admit vs acknowledge
「admit」常帶有不情願或勉強承認的意味；「acknowledge」則較為正式、中立，指認知或公開接受某事實的存在或真實性。
admit vs allow
兩者都有「准許」的意思，但「admit」側重於「准許進入」某個物理或抽象空間；「allow」則泛指一般的「允許」或「許可」某行為。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Admit"?Which "Admit" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He admitted to cheat on the test.
✓He admitted cheating on the test. / He admitted to cheating on the test.
動詞 "admit" 後面接動詞時，應使用動名詞 (V-ing) 形式，而非原形動詞。"admit to" 是片語，後面也接動名詞。
×I admit that I am wrong.
✓I admit (that) I was wrong.
當承認一個已經發生或存在的事實時，從句中的動詞時態應與事實發生時間一致，通常使用過去式。使用現在式 "am" 會暗示錯誤是現在才發生的，邏輯上不通。
×This ticket admits you for the museum.
✓This ticket admits you to the museum.
表示「允許進入某個場所」時，應使用介系詞 "to"，而非 "for"。"admit someone to" 是固定搭配。
×The patient was admitted in the hospital yesterday.
✓The patient was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
表示「被接納入院」或「被允許進入機構」時，動詞 "admit" 的被動式應搭配介系詞 "to"，而非 "in"。
×I must admit that I don't agree with you.
✓I have to admit that I don't agree with you.
雖然 "must admit" 文法上正確，但在表達「不得不承認」一個可能令人不悅或出乎意料的事實時，母語者更常使用 "have to admit" 來強調這是客觀情勢所迫的承認，語氣更自然。"must" 則更強調主觀義務或強烈推測。
×He didn't admit his fault.
✓He didn't admit to his fault. / He didn't admit his mistake.
雖然 "admit one's fault" 有時可見，但更常見、更自然的搭配是 "admit to a fault" 或 "admit a mistake/error"。"fault" 與 "admit to" 搭配更為慣用。
