常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Comfortable"?Which "Comfortable" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I feel comfortably in this chair.
✓I feel comfortable in this chair.
After linking verbs like 'feel', 'look', 'seem', we need the adjective 'comfortable' to describe the subject, not the adverb 'comfortably' which describes how an action is performed.
×I am comfortable to the new environment.
✓I am comfortable with the new environment.
The adjective 'comfortable' is typically followed by the preposition 'with' when indicating the cause or source of comfort. Using 'to' is incorrect.
×This sofa is more comfortabler than that one.
✓This sofa is more comfortable than that one.
'Comfortable' is a long adjective (more than two syllables). Its comparative form is 'more comfortable', not 'comfortabler'. Avoid doubling the comparative marker.
×I need some comfort to sit on.
✓I need something comfortable to sit on.
'Comfort' is a noun meaning a state of physical ease. Here, we need the adjective 'comfortable' to describe the thing ('something') we want to sit on.
×This bed is not comfortable to sleep.
✓This bed is not comfortable to sleep on.
When using the pattern 'adjective + to-infinitive', if the adjective describes the object of the infinitive verb, we often need a preposition (like 'on', 'in', 'with') to connect them logically. The bed is the place you sleep *on*.
×I am very comfortable with speaking English.
✓I am comfortable with speaking English.
While 'very comfortable' is grammatically correct, learners often overuse 'very' with strong adjectives like 'comfortable'. 'Comfortable' itself can express a sufficient degree of ease. Using it alone sounds more natural in many contexts.
