  • do to do 則常指特定、一次性的意圖或計劃,或是在特定情況下需要完成的動作。
  • 在許多情況下,兩者可以互換使用,意義差別非常細微。
  • would like, want, need 等動詞後,通常使用 to do 的形式來表達意願或需求。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Do"?Which "Do" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×You like coffee?

Do you like coffee?

在一般現在時疑問句中,主語不是第三人稱單數時,必須使用助動詞 'do' 來構成疑問句,不能省略。

×He do not know the answer.

He does not know the answer.

在一般現在時中,當主語是第三人稱單數(he, she, it, 或單數名詞)時,否定句和疑問句中的助動詞必須使用 'does',而不是 'do'。

×Yes, I do.

Yes, I do like it.

當 'do' 用作強調動詞時,不能單獨使用 'do' 來回答,必須保留主要動詞或完整的動詞短語,除非是在簡答句中。此錯誤在於將強調用法與簡答用法混淆。

×Did you went to the store?

Did you go to the store?

在由 'did' 構成的過去時疑問句或否定句中,主要動詞必須使用原形,不能使用過去式。

×She don't have a car.

She doesn't have a car.

在一般現在時的否定句中,第三人稱單數主語必須與 'does not' (doesn't) 搭配,而不是 'do not' (don't)。

×I wonder where does she live.

I wonder where she lives.

在間接疑問句或名詞子句中,如果主要子句不是疑問句,則從屬子句應使用陳述句語序,不需要助動詞 'do/does/did' 來倒裝。
