常見錯誤

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

×They put a blanket over the sleeping child.

They blanketed the sleeping child.

誤將名詞 'blanket' 當作動詞使用。原句想表達「用毯子蓋住」的動作,應使用動詞 'blanket'(覆蓋),而非名詞 'a blanket'(一條毯子)。

×The report was blanket with criticism.

The report was blanketed with criticism.

動詞 'blanket' 的被動語態應為 'be blanketed with/by'。原句漏掉了動詞的過去分詞形式 'blanketed'。

×The fog started to blanket in the early morning.

The fog started to blanket the valley in the early morning.

動詞 'blanket' 是及物動詞,必須接一個受詞(被覆蓋的對象)。原句缺少受詞,語意不完整。

×They are blanket the area with leaflets.

They are blanketing the area with leaflets.

進行式應使用現在分詞 'blanketing'。原句使用了動詞原形,時態錯誤。

×The company issued a blanket policy to all employees.

The company issued a blanket policy to all employees.

此句文法正確,但學習者常混淆此處的 'blanket' 是形容詞(全面的、總括的),而非動詞。此為詞性理解錯誤,非句子結構錯誤。
