learn to do vs learn doing
- learn to do 是最常見且通用的用法，表示「學會做某事」的過程或結果，強調從不會到會的轉變。
- learn doing 在現代英語中較少見且不自然。它可能出現在特定語境，如「學習（某種活動）的過程中」，但通常建議避免使用。
- 在表達「學會某項技能」時，應始終使用 learn to + 動詞 的結構。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Learn"?Which "Learn" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I learned to play piano since 2020.
✓I have been learning to play piano since 2020.
When describing an action that started in the past and continues to the present, use the present perfect continuous tense, not the simple past.
×I learned about the news from my friend.
✓I heard about the news from my friend.
Use 'learn about' for acquiring knowledge or skills over time. For receiving new information (especially news) from someone, 'hear about' is more natural.
×She learned me how to swim.
✓She taught me how to swim.
'Learn' means to gain knowledge or skill. The action of giving knowledge or skill is 'teach'. Do not confuse the subject of 'learn' (the student) with the subject of 'teach' (the teacher).
×I want to learn about cooking.
✓I want to learn how to cook.
Use 'learn how to + verb' for acquiring a practical skill. 'Learn about + noun' is for gaining knowledge or information on a subject, not necessarily the skill to do it.
×I learned a new word.
✓I learned a new word. / I came across a new word.
While 'learn a new word' is grammatically correct, it implies you now know and can use it. If you simply saw or heard it for the first time but don't yet know its meaning or usage, 'came across' or 'saw' is more accurate.
×Children learn fastly.
✓Children learn fast / quickly.
'Fast' is both an adjective and an adverb. 'Fastly' is not a standard word. Use 'fast' or 'quickly' as the adverb.
