常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Aid"?Which "Aid" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will aid you to finish the report.
✓I will aid you in finishing the report.
「aid」作為動詞時，常用搭配為「aid someone in doing something」或「aid someone with something」，而非「aid someone to do something」。
×He aids for the poor.
✓He aids the poor.
「aid」作為及物動詞時，後面直接接受詞（aid + someone/something），不需要介系詞「for」。
×She is aiding to her friend.
✓She is aiding her friend.
「aid」是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需要介系詞「to」。此錯誤可能受「give aid to」或「come to the aid of」等名詞用法影響。
×This tool is very aid for beginners.
✓This tool is very helpful for beginners.
「aid」主要作為動詞或名詞使用，不常作為形容詞。想表達「有幫助的」應使用「helpful」或「useful」。雖然「aid」可作名詞修飾語（如 aid worker），但不用「very aid」這種形式。
×Can you aid me do this?
✓Can you help me do this?
「aid」後面不接「賓語 + 原形動詞」的結構（即 aid someone do something）。此結構適用於「help」，但「aid」通常接「in + V-ing」或「with + noun」。在口語或非正式情境中，使用「help」更為自然。
