「creative」是形容詞，修飾名詞「ideas」時，不需要加「s」。名詞「creatives」通常指從事創意產業的人員，而非「創意點子」本身。
×This job is very creative.
✓This job requires a lot of creativity. / This job is very creative in nature.
「creative」主要用來形容「人」或「事物（如作品、方法）」，直接形容「job」或「work」較不自然。應改用「requires creativity」或「is creative in nature」等說法來表達工作性質。
×We need to think more creative.
✓We need to think more creatively.
動詞「think」需要副詞來修飾，因此應使用副詞「creatively」，而非形容詞「creative」。

✓He is creative in writing. / He is a creative writer.
表達「在某方面有創意」時，介系詞應使用「in」，而非「on」。
×Children are naturally creatives.
