常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Attitude"?Which "Attitude" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He has a very positive attitude to his work.
✓He has a very positive attitude toward(s) his work.
When describing someone's attitude regarding a specific thing or person, use 'toward(s)' or 'about', not 'to'. 'To' is used for direction or recipient, not for mental disposition.
×She needs to change her attitude.
✓She needs to change her attitude.
While this sentence is grammatically correct, it is often too vague. In English, it's more natural to specify what the attitude is about (e.g., 'towards her studies', 'about the project') to provide clear context.
×His attitude is very big.
✓He has a very bad/arrogant attitude.
In English, 'attitude' is not described with size adjectives like 'big' or 'small'. Use adjectives that describe quality, such as 'positive', 'negative', 'arrogant', 'relaxed', 'professional', or 'hostile'.
×I don't like his attitude behaviors.
✓I don't like his attitude / I don't like his behavior.
'Attitude' refers to a person's feelings or opinions, while 'behavior' refers to their actions. They are related but distinct concepts. Do not combine them into a compound noun. Use one or the other.
×She gave me a bad attitude.
✓She gave me attitude. / She had a bad attitude.
The phrase 'give attitude' (without an article) is an idiom meaning to be disrespectful or insolent. You cannot use an adjective like 'bad' between 'give' and 'attitude' in this idiom. To describe the quality, use 'have a [adjective] attitude'.
×We should build a correct learning attitude.
✓We should develop a positive/proper learning attitude.
The verb 'build' is not typically used with 'attitude'. More common collocations are 'develop', 'have', 'adopt', 'show', or 'change' an attitude. Also, 'correct' is less natural than 'positive', 'proper', or 'right' in this context.
