given to + V-ing vs given to + V
- given to + V-ing 表示一種習慣性或經常性的傾向，強調「有...的習慣」或「常常...」。
- given to + V 則較為少見，通常用於特定、具體的未來或假設情境，常與情態動詞如
would be連用，表示「（在特定情況下）會被給予...的機會」或「會被允許...」。 - 在描述某人固有的習慣或性格傾向時，幾乎總是使用 given to + V-ing 的形式。 EN: He is given to making grand promises he cannot keep. 翻譯: 他常常許下一些自己無法實現的華麗承諾。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Given"?Which "Given" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×Given the bad weather, but we still went out.
✓Given the bad weather, we still went out.
「Given」作為介系詞，意思是「考慮到」，後面直接接名詞片語或子句，不應與「but」等轉折連接詞連用。
×Given that he is tired, so he should rest.
✓Given that he is tired, he should rest.
「Given that」是從屬連接詞，引導原因副詞子句，主句前不應再加「so」這類對等連接詞。
×He was given a book from his teacher.
✓He was given a book by his teacher.
在被動語態中，動作的執行者應使用介系詞「by」，而不是「from」。雖然「from」在某些上下文中可能聽起來合理，但標準文法中表示施動者應用「by」。
×Given more time, I will finish it.
✓Given more time, I would finish it.
「Given」引導的條件片語若表示與現在事實相反的假設或不太可能的情況，主要子句應使用虛擬語氣（如 would/could + 動詞原形），而非單純未來式。
×We must consider all the givens factors.
✓We must consider all the given factors.
「Given」作為形容詞時，意思是「特定的」或「給予的」，它沒有複數形式，不應在後面加「s」。
×She is given a present yesterday.
✓She was given a present yesterday.
當描述發生在過去的一次性給予動作時，應使用過去簡單式的被動語態（was/were given），而不是現在簡單式（is/are given）。
