常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Housing"?Which "Housing" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We need to housing the refugees.
✓We need to house the refugees.
「housing」作為動詞時是「house」的現在分詞或動名詞形式，不能直接當作原形動詞使用。原形動詞是「house」。
×The new complex is capable of housing.
✓The new complex is capable of housing 500 students.
動詞「house」（其分詞形式 housing）是及物動詞，後面必須接賓語（即被安置的人或物）。句子不完整會讓人疑惑「安置什麼？」。
×Their main job is housing the homeless.
✓Their main job is providing housing for the homeless.
雖然語法上「housing the homeless」可以接受，但在指「提供住所」這項持續性或主要服務時，使用「providing housing」更為自然且常見，強調的是「供應」這個行動而非單次的「容納」動作。
×Many artifacts are being housing in the new wing.
✓Many artifacts are being housed in the new wing.
在進行式的被動語態中，應使用過去分詞「housed」，而不是現在分詞「housing」。現在分詞「housing」常用於主動語態（如 is housing）或作為形容詞/名詞。
×This policy is housing a positive impact.
✓This policy is fostering a positive impact. / This policy is leading to better housing conditions.
動詞「house」主要用於指「為...提供物理空間或住所」，其賓語通常是「人、動物、物品」。它不用於抽象概念（如 impact, idea, feeling）。若想表達「容納」抽象概念，應使用其他動詞如 contain, foster, embody 等，或重新組織句子。
