常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Insight"?Which "Insight" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×He gave me a good insight about the problem.

He gave me a good insight into the problem.

The correct preposition to use with 'insight' is 'into', not 'about', when referring to understanding a subject or situation.

×She has a deep insight of the market trends.

She has a deep insight into the market trends.

The preposition 'of' is incorrect here. 'Insight' is typically followed by 'into' to indicate the object of understanding.

×I need your insights for this project.

I need your insight for this project.

While 'insights' (plural) is acceptable, it is often used for multiple distinct pieces of understanding. When asking for someone's general understanding or perspective, the uncountable form 'insight' is more common and natural.

×His speech was full of insights and very motivate.

His speech was full of insight and very motivating.

'Insight' is a noun, not an adjective. The adjective form is 'insightful'. Also, the verb form 'motivate' cannot be used as an adjective; the correct adjective is 'motivating'.

×Can you insight this chart for me?

Can you provide insight into this chart for me?

'Insight' is a noun, not a verb. You cannot use it as an action verb. Use phrases like 'provide insight into', 'offer insight into', or 'give insight into'.

×I had a sudden insight that the solution was simple.

I had a sudden insight: the solution was simple.

When introducing the content of the insight directly, a colon (:) or a clause starting with 'that' is more natural than using 'that' immediately after 'insight' without a pause. The structure 'insight that...' is often used in more formal or complex sentences.
