常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Connected"?Which "Connected" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I connected my phone with the charger.
✓I connected my phone to the charger.
使用動詞 "connected" 時，表示將某物連結到另一物，通常使用介系詞 "to"。使用 "with" 通常表示與某人一起做某事或用某工具連接，在此情境下不自然。
×The devices are connected yesterday.
✓The devices were connected yesterday.
當描述過去發生的連接動作時，被動語態應使用過去式 "were connected"。使用 "are connected" 表示當前的一般狀態或現在完成，與明確的過去時間 "yesterday" 矛盾。
×I am connected the wires.
✓I am connecting the wires. / I have connected the wires.
"Connected" 作為動詞的過去分詞，不能單獨用作主要動詞進行現在時的動作描述。要描述正在進行的動作，應使用現在分詞 "connecting"；要描述已完成動作，應使用完成式 "have connected"。"Am connected" 表示「我被連接」或「我處於連線狀態」的形容詞意義。
×This software helps to connect.
✓This software helps to connect devices. / This software helps with connecting.
及物動詞 "connect" 通常需要一個受詞來指明連接什麼。如果上下文不明確，應補上受詞（如 devices, people, networks）或改用動名詞片語 "with connecting" 來使語意完整。
×He connected carefully the components.
✓He carefully connected the components.
在英文中，修飾動詞的副詞（如 carefully）通常不放在動詞與其受詞之間。應將副詞置於動詞之前或句末，以符合自然的語序。
×The two events are conected.
✓The two events are connected.
動詞 "connect" 的過去分詞和形容詞形式為 "connected"，需要雙寫 "n" 後再加 "ed"。漏掉一個 "n" 是常見的拼字錯誤。
