「astound」是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需要加介系詞「to」。
×I am astounding by his talent.
✓I am astounded by his talent.
表達「感到震驚」的狀態時，應使用過去分詞「astounded」作為形容詞。現在分詞「astounding」意為「令人震驚的」，用於描述事物本身。
×It astounds that he finished the work so quickly.
✓It is astounding that he finished the work so quickly.
以「it」作為形式主詞，引導一個事實子句時，應使用「It is astounding that...」的結構，而非直接用「It astounds that...」。

「astound」本身即表示「使震驚」，不需要使用「make + 受詞 + 動詞原形」的使役結構。直接使用「astound + 受詞」即可。
×I feel very astound.
✓I feel very astounded.
「astound」是動詞，不能直接放在「feel」後面作補語。應使用形容詞性的過去分詞「astounded」來描述感受。
