正式寫作注意：在學術、法律或正式商業報告中，應避免上述口語化用法。應直接、精確地使用「counterfeit」作為及物動詞描述具體的偽造行為（如 counterfeit money/documents），並提供客觀證據，而非用於表達主觀感受或作為填充詞。

×He made a counterfeit of the painting.
✓He counterfeited the painting.
當 'counterfeit' 作動詞時，直接表示「偽造」的行為，不需要加上 'make a counterfeit of' 這種冗餘結構。使用動詞形式更簡潔自然。
×He was arrested for counterfeiting.
✓He was arrested for counterfeiting money.
動詞 'counterfeit' 是及物動詞，通常需要一個直接受詞來明確說明偽造了什麼。雖然在特定語境下（如法律條文）可能單獨使用，但一般句子中應加上受詞以避免語意不清。
×They have counterfeited the tickets last year.
✓They counterfeited the tickets last year.
描述過去發生的具體偽造行為，應使用簡單過去式 'counterfeited'。使用現在完成式 'have counterfeited' 時，通常不與明確的過去時間點（如 last year）連用。
×He was charged with counterfeit.
✓He was charged with counterfeiting.
介系詞 'with' 後面應接動名詞 'counterfeiting' 或名詞 'counterfeiting'（作為動名詞名詞化），表示「偽造的行為」。直接使用原形 'counterfeit' 是錯誤的。
×He learned to counterfeit his father's signature.
✓He learned to forge his father's signature.
雖然 'counterfeit' 和 'forge' 都有「偽造」之意，但 'forge' 更常用於簽名、文件或藝術品，強調模仿筆跡或創作。'counterfeit' 更常指大規模偽造貨幣、商品。此處用 'forge' 更自然。
