常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bread"?Which "Bread" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I breaded the chicken with flour.
✓I coated the chicken with breadcrumbs.
The verb 'bread' specifically means to coat with breadcrumbs, not with flour or other powders. Using 'bread' for flour is incorrect.
×She breads the meat yesterday.
✓She breaded the meat yesterday.
The past tense of the verb 'bread' is 'breaded', not 'breads'. 'Breads' is the third-person singular present tense form.
×This recipe needs to bread the vegetables.
✓This recipe requires breading the vegetables. / This recipe requires you to bread the vegetables.
The verb 'bread' is a transitive action verb. Using it passively after 'needs to' can sound awkward. It's more natural to use a gerund ('breading') or an active construction.
×Can you bread this for me?
✓Can you bread these chicken pieces for me?
The verb 'bread' requires a clear direct object (what is being coated). Using a vague pronoun like 'this' without context is unclear.
×I will make a breaded pork chop.
✓I will make breaded pork chops.
While grammatically possible, the singular 'a breaded pork chop' is less common in general cooking instructions. The plural form is more typical when describing the preparation process.
