常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Good"?Which "Good" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×This idea goods.
✓This idea is good.
「good」不是動詞，不能直接當作動詞使用。在中文裡「好」可以當形容詞或動詞（如「這件事好了」），但英文的「good」只能是形容詞、名詞或感嘆詞。表達「某事物是好的」必須使用「be good」結構。
×Exercise goods your health.
✓Exercise is good for your health. / Exercise benefits your health.
「good」不能當作「對...有益」的動詞使用。要表達「對...有好處」應使用「be good for」或動詞「benefit」。中文常說「運動好你的身體」，但英文不能直接將「good」轉為動詞。
×I am gooding at English.
✓I am good at English. / I am doing well in English.
「good」沒有現在分詞形式，不能加「-ing」。表達「擅長」或「表現良好」應使用「be good at」或「do well in」。中文學習者可能誤將「good」類比為「improving」或「progressing」。
×He gooded the situation.
✓He improved the situation. / He made the situation good.
「good」沒有過去式「gooded」。要表達「使變好」或「改善」應使用動詞「improve」、「better」或「make good」。中文的「他把事情搞好了」不能直譯為「He gooded it」。
×This will good the results.
✓This will make the results good. / This will improve the results.
「good」不能當使役動詞使用（意為「使...變好」）。正確說法是使用「make ... good」或「improve」。中文裡「好」有時可作動詞（如「好結果」中的使動用法），但英文不行。
×We need to good our service.
✓We need to make our service good. / We need to improve our service.
「good」不能接在「to」後面當不定詞動詞。要表達「需要使...變好」應使用「to improve」或「to make ... good」。這是受中文「去好」或「來好」結構影響的錯誤。
