常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Flight"?Which "Flight" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will take a flight to go to Tokyo.
✓I will take a flight to Tokyo.
在英文中，'take a flight to [地點]' 已包含「前往」的意思，不需要再加 'to go to'。這是一個常見的冗餘錯誤。
×The flight's number is CA123.
✓The flight number is CA123.
表示航班編號時，應使用名詞修飾語 'flight number'，而不是所有格 'flight's number'。所有格通常用於表示擁有或歸屬，而這裡 'flight' 是用來描述 'number' 的類型。
×I missed my flight because of the heavy traffic.
✓I missed my flight because of the heavy traffic.
雖然拼寫正確，但學習者常將 'flight'（航班）與 'fright'（驚嚇）的發音混淆。此處強調正確的單字選擇與發音區別。'Flight' 發音為 /flaɪt/，而 'fright' 發音為 /fraɪt/。
×How long is the flight from Taipei to Seoul? It's about two and half hours.
✓How long is the flight from Taipei to Seoul? It's about two and a half hours.
在表示 '兩個半' 時，英文必須說 'two and a half'，其中不定冠詞 'a' 不可省略。這是學習者在描述航班時間等度量時常見的錯誤。
×The bird took a flight into the sky.
✓The bird took flight into the sky.
當 'flight' 指鳥類或昆蟲的『飛行』行為（尤指起飛）時，常使用不可數形式 'take flight'，而不是 'take a flight'。'Take a flight' 通常指人類搭乘商業航班。
