用法說明
How is "Assign" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Assign"?
assign doing vs assign to do
- assign doing 這個結構在標準英語中並不正確。動詞 "assign" 後面不能直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 作為受詞。
- 正確的結構是 assign someone to do something，表示「指派某人去做某事」。這裡的 "to do" 是不定詞，用來表示被指派的任務或動作。
- 另一個常見結構是 assign something to someone，表示「將某物（如任務、工作）分配給某人」。
- 被動語態也很常見：be assigned to do something 或 be assigned to a place/department。

使用 "assign" 時，記住其核心結構是「assign + 人 + to + 動詞原形」或「assign + 事物 + to + 人」，避免在後面直接接動名詞。
