用法說明
How is "Count" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Count"?
count on doing vs count on to do
- count on doing 表示「預期或指望（某事會發生）」，強調將某個正在進行或預定會發生的情況視為理所當然。
- count on someone to do 表示「指望或依賴某人去做（某事）」，強調對某人執行某個特定行動的信任與依賴。
- 兩者的核心差別在於：doing 聚焦於「事件本身」，而 to do 聚焦於「某人執行動作」。 EN: We can count on the train arriving on time; it's very reliable. 翻譯: 我們可以指望火車準時到達，它非常可靠。
EN:I can always count on my colleague to finish the report on time.
翻譯:我總是可以指望我的同事準時完成報告。
總結建議
一般來說，當主語是「事物」或「情況」時，使用 count on doing；當主語是「人」並指望其採取行動時，則使用 count on someone to do。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Count"?Which "Count" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need to count the total cost.
✓I need to calculate the total cost.
Use 'calculate' for mathematical operations involving formulas or complex computations. Use 'count' for simply determining the number of items by enumeration.
×You can count me for help.
✓You can count on me for help.
The phrasal verb 'count on' means to rely on or depend on someone. Using just 'count' here is incorrect.
×The final count showed we have 25 participants.
✓The final count showed we had 25 participants.
When 'count' is used as a noun (the result of counting), the verb tense in the clause should agree with the main context. Here, 'showed' is past tense, so the reported result 'had' should also be in the past.
×If you need a ride, count it!
✓If you need a ride, count on it!
'Count it' is not a standard phrase for offering assurance. 'Count on it' is the correct idiom meaning you can be sure of something.
×I counted wrong. There are only 18.
✓I miscounted. There are only 18.
While 'counted wrong' is understandable, the more natural and concise verb for making a counting error is 'miscount'.
×Can you count the water in this bottle?
✓Can you measure the water in this bottle?
Use 'count' for discrete, individual items (countable nouns). For substances or concepts that are mass/uncountable (like water, sand, advice), use verbs like 'measure', 'quantify', or 'weigh'.
