常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Convincing"?Which "Convincing" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He argued very convincing.
✓He argued very convincingly.
「convincing」是形容詞，修飾名詞或與連綴動詞（如 be, seem）連用。修飾動詞（如 argued）時，必須使用副詞「convincingly」。
×I am convincing of his innocence.
✓I am convinced of his innocence.
「convinced」描述人的感受或信念（感到信服的），主詞通常是人。而「convincing」描述事物或論點本身具有說服力。
×He made convincing argument.
✓He made a convincing argument.
可數名詞單數（如 argument）前面通常需要冠詞（a/an/the）。這裡指的是「一個」有說服力的論點，因此必須加上不定冠詞「a」。
×His story was not convincing for me.
✓His story was not convincing to me.
表達「對某人來說有說服力」時，習慣搭配介系詞「to」。雖然「for」在某些語境下可能被理解，但「to」是更自然、更常見的用法。
×It was a very convincing enough story.
✓It was a convincing enough story. / It was a very convincing story.
「enough」和「very」都是程度修飾語，同時使用會造成語意重複且不自然。應選擇其中一個來修飾形容詞「convincing」。
×The advertisement was convincing people to buy the product.
✓The advertisement was persuasive in getting people to buy the product. / The advertisement convinced people to buy the product.
「convincing」是形容詞，描述事物本身的特質，不直接表示「說服某人去做某事」的動作。若要表達「說服去做」的動作，應使用動詞「convince」，或使用形容詞「persuasive」並搭配適當的結構（如 in + V-ing）。
