常見錯誤

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

×He fell down from the tree yesterday.

He fell from the tree yesterday.

在英文中,'fell' 本身已包含「落下」的意思,加上 'down' 通常是多餘的,除非要特別強調「向下」的動作。

×I fell the glass and it broke.

I dropped the glass and it broke.

'Fell' 是不及物動詞,主詞必須是「掉落」的物體本身。若要表達「使某物掉落」,應使用及物動詞 'drop'。

×He has fell asleep.

He has fallen asleep.

'Fell' 是過去式,其過去分詞是 'fallen'。在完成式(have/has/had + 過去分詞)中必須使用 'fallen'。

×The temperature will fell tomorrow.

The temperature will fall tomorrow.

'Fell' 是過去式,在未來式或現在式中應使用原形 'fall'。

×She felt down the stairs.

'Felt' 是 'feel'(感覺)的過去式,容易與 'fell'(fall 的過去式)拼寫混淆。描述「跌倒」應使用 'fell'。

×The tree was fell by the storm.

The tree was felled by the storm.

當 'fell' 作為及物動詞時,意思是「砍倒;擊倒」,其過去式和過去分詞是 'felled'。在被動語態中需使用過去分詞 'felled'。
