「criterion」的複數形式是不規則的「criteria」。許多學習者會錯誤地加上「-s」來形成複數,但「criterias」是不正確的。

×This is the only criterion we have.

This is the only criterion we have.

當指單一標準時,應使用單數形式「criterion」。學習者有時會誤用複數形式「criteria」來指單一事物。

「criterion」的複數是「criteria」,不是「criterions」。此外,使用複數名詞「criteria」時,動詞也應使用複數形式(如 are)。

×She met all the criterion for the scholarship.

She met all the criteria for the scholarship.

「all」後面通常接複數名詞。因此,即使「criterion」是單數,在「all」之後也必須使用其複數形式「criteria」。

The main criterion for success is customer satisfaction.

在表示「…的標準」時,常用的介系詞是「for」,而不是「of」。雖然「of」在某些語境下可能被接受,但「for」是更自然、更常見的搭配。
