bud doing vs bud to do
- bud doing 通常描述一個正在進行或即將發生的自然生長過程，強調「開始發芽」這個動作或狀態本身。
- bud to do 則較為少見，可能出現在文學或比喻性語境中，表示「為了某個目的而發芽」或帶有「即將展現」的意圖感。

EN:The tree seemed to bud to announce the arrival of spring.

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bud"?Which "Bud" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The tree is budding a new leaf.
✓The tree is budding.
作為動詞，'bud' 是不及物動詞，後面不直接接受詞。它描述植物本身長出芽的過程，而非長出某個東西。
×The plant will bud next spring.
✓The plant buds in spring. / The plant will bud next spring. (Both are grammatically correct, but the simple present is more common for stating general facts.)
雖然未來式 'will bud' 文法正確，但在描述植物每年週期性發芽時，使用現在簡單式 'buds' 來表達自然規律或習慣更為常見且自然。
×I budded it last week. (referring to a plant)
✓It budded last week.
'Bud' 是不及物動詞，不能有受詞。不能用人稱代名詞 (I, you, he) 或名詞作為主詞去對植物執行 'bud' 這個動作。植物本身才是發芽的主體。
×The plant buded yesterday.
✓The plant budded yesterday.
動詞 'bud' 的過去式與過去分詞為 'budded'，需要雙寫 'd'。這是一個規則動詞的拼字錯誤。
×The flowers are budding beautifully.
✓The flower buds are forming. / The flowers are blooming beautifully.
'Bud' 指的是長出花苞或葉芽的階段，是開花 ('bloom'/'flower') 之前的過程。當花已經盛開時，應該用 'bloom' 或 'flower'。
