常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Cooperative"?Which "Cooperative" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He showed a great cooperative.
✓He showed great cooperativeness. / He was very cooperative.
「cooperative」主要用作形容詞，不能直接當作名詞表示「合作的行為或態度」。要表達名詞概念，應使用「cooperativeness」或改用形容詞結構。
×cooporative / co-operative (in general contexts)
✓cooperative
常見的拼寫錯誤是漏掉字母「o」或使用連字號「-」。在現代美式英文中，「cooperative」是標準拼法，連字號形式「co-operative」較少見，主要用於英式英文或特定風格。
×They are cooperative to the new policy.
✓They are cooperative with the new policy. / They are cooperative in implementing the new policy.
描述對某人或某事表現出合作態度時，形容詞「cooperative」後應接介系詞「with」，而非「to」。若要表示在某個行動或過程中合作，則可使用「in + V-ing」。
×He worked cooperative with his colleagues.
✓He worked cooperatively with his colleagues.
「cooperative」是形容詞，修飾動詞時應使用其副詞形式「cooperatively」，意為「合作地」。
×The cooperative child shared his toys. (when meaning 'willing to share')
✓The obliging/agreeable child shared his toys.
雖然「cooperative」有「願意配合」的意思，但用於描述小孩分享玩具這類日常、自發的友善行為時，顯得不夠自然且過於正式。更地道的說法是使用「obliging」、「agreeable」或「generous」。
