用法說明
How is "Friday" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Friday"?
Friday vs. on Friday
- Friday 單獨使用時，通常指「星期五」這個日期概念，或作為專有名詞的一部分（如「Black Friday」）。
- on Friday 則明確指出事件發生的時間點是「在星期五那天」。
- 談論「每週五」的習慣時，兩者常可互換，但 on Fridays（複數）更強調規律性。
- 在口語中，談論即將到來的星期五時，常省略介系詞 on。 EN: The meeting is scheduled for Friday. 翻譯: 會議定在星期五。
EN:The meeting is scheduled on Friday.
翻譯:會議安排在星期五（那天）舉行。
EN:We have a team lunch every Friday.
翻譯:我們每週五都有團隊午餐。
EN:We have a team lunch on Fridays.

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Friday"?Which "Friday" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will see you on friday.
✓I will see you on Friday.
在英文中，星期名稱是專有名詞，必須大寫。
×I have an appointment on a Friday.
✓I have an appointment on Friday.
當談論「即將到來的星期五」或「本週五」時，通常不使用冠詞。使用「a Friday」表示「某個星期五」，但通常用於泛指，而非指特定的、已知的日期。
×The party is at Friday.
✓The party is on Friday.
談論特定日期或星期幾時，正確的介系詞是「on」，而不是「at」。
×I go to the gym every Friday.
✓I go to the gym every Friday. (或 I go to the gym on Fridays.)
句子本身是正確的。常見錯誤是混淆「every Friday」和「Fridays」的用法。兩者都表示習慣性動作，但結構不同。使用「every Friday」時，介系詞「on」通常省略。使用「Fridays」時，需要介系詞「on」。
×Let's meet next Friday. (在週四說這句話，可能意指明天或下週五，造成混淆)
✓Let's meet this Friday. (指本週五) 或 Let's meet Friday next week. (指下週五)
「next Friday」的含義可能因說話時間而異。為避免混淆，在週四或週五談論即將到來的星期五時，使用「this Friday」；談論一週後的星期五時，使用「Friday next week」更清晰。
×Friday good morning!
✓Good morning! Happy Friday!
英文問候語有其固定詞序。不能將星期名稱直接放在問候語前面。想表達「星期五快樂」時，應使用「Happy Friday!」作為獨立句子或感嘆語。
