常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Food"?Which "Food" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I food my dog every morning.
✓I feed my dog every morning.
混淆了名詞 'food' 與動詞 'feed'。'food' 是名詞，指食物本身；'feed' 才是動詞，表示餵食的動作。
×She foods on healthy snacks.
✓She eats healthy snacks. / She snacks on healthy food.
將名詞 'food' 錯誤地當作動詞使用。'food' 不能直接用作動詞來表示「吃」。應使用 'eat', 'have', 或 'consume' 等動詞。
×I will food you later.
✓I will get food for you later. / I will bring you food later.
誤用 'food' 作為表示「取得食物給某人」的動詞。正確說法應使用動詞片語，如 'get food for someone' 或 'bring someone food'。
×We need to food the guests.
✓We need to provide food for the guests. / We need to feed the guests.
誤將 'food' 用作表示「提供食物」的及物動詞。應使用 'provide food for' 或動詞 'feed'（若語境為餵食）。
×He is good at fooding.
✓He is good at cooking. / He is knowledgeable about food.
錯誤地將 'food' 轉為動名詞 'fooding' 使用。沒有 'fooding' 這個字。想表達擅長烹飪應用 'cooking'；想表達對食物有研究，可用 'knowledgeable about food'。
