用法說明
How is "Forced" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Forced"?
forced doing vs forced to do
- forced doing 的結構並不標準，通常不被視為正確用法。動詞 force 在主動語態中，其受詞後方習慣接不定詞 (to do)。
- 標準的結構是 force someone to do something，表示「強迫某人做某事」。
- 被動語態 be forced to do something 非常常見，表示「被迫做某事」，強調主體因外部壓力而採取行動。
- 在假設語氣或條件句中，可能會看到 would be forced to do，表示「將會被迫做」。
對比例句： EN: The manager forced the team to work overtime. 翻譯: 經理強迫團隊加班。
EN:The team was forced to work overtime due to the deadline.

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Forced"?Which "Forced" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I forced him to go.
✓I forced him to go.
雖然這個句子在文法上是正確的，但許多學習者會誤用 "forced" 來表達較輕微的「說服」或「鼓勵」。在中文思維中，「強迫」有時用於較不強烈的語境，但在英文中 "force" 表示使用權力或壓力使對方別無選擇，語氣強烈。應根據語境選擇更恰當的動詞，如 "persuaded", "convinced", "encouraged", 或 "made"。
×He was forced do it.
✓He was forced to do it.
動詞 "force" 在被動語態 "be forced" 後必須接帶 "to" 的不定詞 (to-infinitive)。遺漏 "to" 是常見的句型錯誤。
×The bad weather forced canceling the picnic.
✓The bad weather forced us to cancel the picnic. / The bad weather forced the cancellation of the picnic.
"Force" 後不能直接接動名詞 (gerund) 作受詞。正確用法是：1) force + 人/物 + to + 動詞原形，或 2) force + 名詞（如 cancellation, change）。
×I forced studying all night for the exam.
✓I forced myself to study all night for the exam.
當主詞迫使自己做某事時，必須使用反身代名詞 "myself", "yourself", "himself" 等作為受詞，即 "force oneself to do something"。直接接動詞是錯誤的。
×They forced him telling the truth.
✓They forced him to tell the truth.
"Force" 的句型是 "force someone to do something"，其中 "to do" 是不定詞，不是現在分詞或動名詞。使用 "telling" 是錯誤的。
×I am forced by my boss work overtime.
✓I am forced by my boss to work overtime.
在被動語態中，即使動作執行者 (by my boss) 出現在句中，主要動詞 "force" 之後仍然需要 "to" 來引導不定詞。這是學習者常遺漏的關鍵字。
