常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Charming"?Which "Charming" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a charm person.
✓He is a charming person.
混淆名詞 'charm' 與形容詞 'charming'。'Charm' 是名詞，指魅力；'charming' 是形容詞，用來描述人或事物具有魅力。
×She is very charmingly.
✓She is very charming.
誤將形容詞 'charming' 與副詞 'charmingly' 混淆。'Charming' 是形容詞，修飾名詞（如人、地方）；'charmingly' 是副詞，修飾動詞或形容詞。
×The story is charm.
✓The story is charming.
在 be 動詞後應使用形容詞 'charming' 作主詞補語，而非名詞 'charm'。
×It's a charming small town.
✓It's a charming small town. (正確，但學習者常誤用於負面情境)
'Charming' 帶有強烈的正面含義，通常不用於描述負面或諷刺的情境（除非刻意為之）。例如，不會用 'charming' 來形容一個混亂或令人不悅的地方。
×He is charming than his brother.
✓He is more charming than his brother.
多音節形容詞如 'charming' 的比較級應使用 'more + 形容詞'，而非直接加 '-er'。
×I was charmed by his charming personality.
✓I was charmed by his charming personality. (正確，但學習者常混淆兩者用法)
'Charmed' 是動詞 'charm' 的過去分詞，常用於被動語態 'be charmed by'。'Charming' 是形容詞，直接描述特質。兩者相關但用法不同。
