常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Apprentice"?Which "Apprentice" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He apprenticed to a carpenter.
✓He apprenticed under a carpenter.
The verb 'apprentice' typically requires a preposition like 'under', 'with', or 'to' followed by the master or company, but the structure is 'apprentice under/with someone' or 'be apprenticed to someone'. Using 'to' directly after the verb without an object is incorrect.
×I want to apprentice a blacksmith.
✓I want to apprentice as a blacksmith.
When stating the trade or profession one is learning, use 'apprentice as a [trade]'. The verb 'apprentice' does not take the trade as a direct object in this way.
×The company apprenticed him for plumbing.
✓The company took him on as an apprentice plumber. / He was apprenticed to a plumber.
The verb 'apprentice' is more commonly used in the active voice with the learner as the subject ('He apprenticed...') or in the passive voice ('He was apprenticed to...'). Using an organization as the subject with 'apprentice' in the active voice and a person as the direct object is unnatural. Use alternative phrasing.
×She is apprenticing to learn the skill.
✓She is apprenticing to master the skill.
While 'learn' is not grammatically wrong, it is redundant because 'apprenticing' inherently means learning a trade. Using verbs like 'master', 'become', or stating the goal directly ('to become a chef') is more idiomatic and precise.
×I will apprentice in the bakery.
✓I will apprentice at the bakery.
When referring to the place of apprenticeship, the preposition 'at' or 'with' is more common than 'in'. Use 'at' for a specific business or location, and 'with' for a specific person or company.
