在 'interested' 後面,若要接動詞表達感興趣的活動,通常使用 'in + V-ing' 的形式。'interested to + V' 在某些特定語境(如得知某事)可用,但 'in + V-ing' 是表達一般興趣更常見且安全的用法。

×She showed interested in the project.

She showed an interest in the project. / She was interested in the project.

'interested' 是形容詞,不能直接當作名詞使用。名詞形式是 'interest'。動詞 'show' 後面應接名詞 'interest',並常與冠詞 'an' 連用。

×He is an interested person in science.

He is a person interested in science. / He is interested in science.

形容詞 'interested' 通常不直接放在名詞前作修飾(如 an interested person)。它更常作為主詞補語(在 be 動詞後),或以 'interested in...' 的片語形式放在名詞後面作修飾。
