常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Broadcast"?Which "Broadcast" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×They broadcasted the news yesterday.
✓They broadcast the news yesterday.
The verb 'broadcast' has the same form for present, past, and past participle. 'Broadcasted' is sometimes used but is considered non-standard or less common in many style guides.
×The program was broadcast in the television.
✓The program was broadcast on television.
The correct preposition for the medium 'television' is 'on', not 'in'. Use 'on TV', 'on the radio', 'on the internet'.
×They broadcasted.
✓They broadcast the game. / They did a broadcast.
'Broadcast' as a verb is usually transitive and requires an object (what is being transmitted). If you want to use it intransitively, you need to specify the context clearly (e.g., 'The station is broadcasting now').
×I watched the live broadcast of the event on TV.
✓I watched the live broadcast of the event on TV.
This sentence is actually correct. The common mistake is using the verb form when the noun form is needed, or vice versa. For example, saying 'I saw the broadcast show' instead of 'I saw the broadcast' or 'I saw the show that was broadcast'.
×broad cast
✓broadcast
'Broadcast' is a single, closed compound word. Writing it as two separate words ('broad cast') is incorrect in modern English.
