常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Cooperate"?Which "Cooperate" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We need to cooperate the project.
✓We need to cooperate on the project.
「cooperate」是不及物動詞，後面不能直接接受詞。若要表達「在某事上合作」，需使用介系詞「on」、「with」或「in」。
×He cooperated me to finish the task.
✓He cooperated with me to finish the task.
表達「與某人合作」時，必須使用「cooperate with + 人」。
×The company is not cooperating to our requests.
✓The company is not cooperating with our requests.
表達「配合（要求、指示等）」時，應使用「cooperate with + 事物」。使用「to」是錯誤的。
×We should cooperation to solve this problem.
✓We should cooperate to solve this problem.
「cooperation」是名詞，不能當動詞使用。此處需要動詞「cooperate」。
×I will cooperate you.
✓I will cooperate with you.
這是常見的遺漏介系詞錯誤。「cooperate」後接人時，必須加上「with」。
×He didn't cooperate nobody.
✓He didn't cooperate with anybody.
在否定句中，不應使用雙重否定（didn't + nobody）。應使用「anybody」或「anyone」。同時別忘了介系詞「with」。
