常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Comment"?Which "Comment" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He made a comment about the plan.
✓He commented on the plan.
Learners often use the noun 'comment' with 'make' when the verb 'comment' is more direct and natural. Use the verb form for the action of giving an opinion.
×She commented the proposal.
✓She commented on the proposal.
The verb 'comment' is almost always followed by the preposition 'on' (or sometimes 'about') when an object is mentioned. Omitting the preposition is incorrect.
×He commented for my presentation.
✓He commented on my presentation.
The correct preposition after 'comment' (verb) is 'on' or 'about', not 'for'. 'For' is used to indicate the recipient of a comment (e.g., 'He had a comment for me'), but not with the verb form.
×He commented that the food was too salty.
✓He commented that the food was too salty. (This is actually correct)
Learners sometimes think using 'comment' with a 'that-clause' is wrong because it's often used with 'on'. However, 'comment' can correctly be used transitively with a 'that-clause' to report speech. The mistake is in thinking it's incorrect.
×He commented his trip to Japan.
✓He mentioned his trip to Japan. / He commented on his trip to Japan.
'Comment' requires 'on' and implies giving an opinion or remark. 'Mention' means to refer to something briefly without necessarily giving an opinion. Don't use 'comment' to mean simply 'say' or 'refer to'.
