常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Excellent"?Which "Excellent" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He performed excellent in the competition.
✓He performed excellently in the competition.
「excellent」是形容詞，用來修飾名詞。修飾動詞（如 perform）時，必須使用副詞「excellently」。
×This is more excellent than that.
✓This is better than that.
「excellent」本身已表示最高品質，通常不使用比較級或最高級。在比較時，應使用「good」的比較級「better」或最高級「best」。
×It was excellent idea.
✓It was an excellent idea.
當「excellent」修飾可數單數名詞（如 idea）時，前面必須加上不定冠詞「an」，因為「excellent」以母音開頭。
×They are excellent student.
✓They are excellent students.
主詞「They」是複數，因此後面的名詞「student」也必須使用複數形式「students」，以保持主詞與補語的一致性。
×The food is tasted excellent.
✓The food tastes excellent.
動詞「taste」在此為連綴動詞，後面應接形容詞「excellent」作主詞補語，不應使用被動語態「is tasted」。
×The movie was excellent, the acting was excellent, and the music was also excellent.
✓The movie was superb, the acting was outstanding, and the music was also magnificent.
在英文寫作中，應避免重複使用相同的形容詞。可以使用同義詞（如 superb, outstanding, magnificent）來豐富表達，使文字更生動。
