常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Annually"?Which "Annually" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×The company holds an annually meeting.

The company holds an annual meeting.

"Annually" 是副詞,用來修飾動詞,表示動作發生的頻率。"Annual" 是形容詞,用來修飾名詞。這裡要修飾名詞 "meeting",所以必須使用形容詞 "annual"。

×The subscription renews automatically every year annually.

The subscription renews automatically annually.

"Annually" 本身已包含 "每年一次" 的意思,與 "every year" 同時使用會造成語意重複。應刪除其中一個頻率副詞。

×The company pays the bonus to employees annually in December.

The company pays the annual bonus to employees in December.

雖然 "pays... annually" 文法上正確,但語意上 "bonus" 本身是年度發放的,使用形容詞 "annual" 來修飾名詞更為自然且常見。將 "annually" 置於句尾有時會讓句子結構鬆散。

×The conference is happening annually in June.

The conference takes place annually in June.

描述習慣性、規律性的事件時,應使用簡單現在式,而非現在進行式。"Happening" 帶有正在發生的意味,不適合用於表達每年的慣例。應使用 "takes place", "is held", "occurs" 等動詞。

×It's an annually-paid leave.

It's an annual leave.

複合形容詞中通常使用名詞或形容詞,而非副詞。"Annual" 作為形容詞可以直接修飾後面的名詞(如 leave, salary, fee),形成 "annual leave"(年假)、"annual salary"(年薪)。"Annually-paid" 雖然可被理解,但並非標準或自然的用法。
