- 在許多情況下，兩者可以互換使用，但 knowledge of 在正式或學術語境中更為常見。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Knowledge"?Which "Knowledge" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He has many knowledges about history.
✓He has a lot of knowledge about history.
在英文中，'knowledge' 是不可數名詞，沒有複數形式。表達大量知識時，應使用 'a lot of knowledge'、'much knowledge' 或 'extensive knowledge'，而非 'many knowledges'。
×He has knowledge of the incident.
✓He has some knowledge of the incident. / He has knowledge of the incident.
當 'knowledge' 泛指知識或知曉時，通常不加冠詞。但在表示對特定事件的『一些了解』時，常會加上 'some' 或 'a certain' 使其更自然。單獨使用 'knowledge' 在語法上正確，但在某些語境下可能聽起來過於絕對或正式。
×He has good knowledge in computer science.
✓He has good knowledge of computer science.
表達『關於…的知識』時，正確的介系詞是 'of'，而不是 'in' 或 'about'。'Knowledge in' 在某些非常特定的語境下可能出現，但 'knowledge of' 是標準且最安全的用法。
×I knowledge that it is important.
✓I know that it is important.
'Knowledge' 是名詞，不能當動詞使用。表達『知道』的動詞是 'know'。這是一個常見的詞性混淆錯誤。
×I went to school to knowledge new skills.
✓I went to school to acquire/gain new knowledge and skills.
同樣地，'knowledge' 是名詞。表達『學習（知識）』或『獲取（知識）』應使用動詞如 'acquire'、'gain'、'obtain' 或 'learn'（但 'learn' 的受詞通常是具體事物或技能，搭配 'knowledge' 時常說 'gain knowledge'）。
×My working knowledge in Japan was wonderful.
✓My work experience in Japan was wonderful. / The knowledge I gained from working in Japan was wonderful.
'Knowledge' 指的是『知識、學問、知曉』，而 'experience' 指的是『經歷、經驗』。描述一段過往的工作『經歷』本身，應用 'experience'。若強調從該經歷中獲得的『知識』，則可使用 'knowledge gained/acquired from...'。
