How is "Manage" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Manage"?
manage doing vs manage to do
- manage doing 通常指「處理、應付、負責某個持續的任務或狀況」，強調過程中的管理行為。
- manage to do 則是指「設法做到、成功完成某件具體的事」，強調克服困難後的成功結果。
- 在大多數情況下，當表達「成功做到」時，應使用 manage to do。
- manage doing 的用法較不常見，且常可被 handle doing 或 be in charge of doing 等說法替代。 EN: She manages running the entire department by herself. 翻譯: 她獨自一人負責管理整個部門的運作。
EN:She managed to finish the report before the deadline.
翻譯:她設法在截止日期前完成了報告。
EN:How do you manage working full-time and studying?

總結建議
表達「成功做到某事」時，請使用 manage to do；而 manage doing 多用於指「處理或負責某項常規事務」。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Manage"?Which "Manage" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I managed to finish the report yesterday.
✓I finished the report yesterday.
「manage to do something」強調克服困難或挑戰後成功完成某事。如果只是簡單陳述完成的事實，沒有困難的含義，使用一般動詞（如 finish）即可。
×I can manage to speak English.
✓I can speak English.
「can」已經表示能力，而「manage to」強調在特定情況下成功做到。將兩者一起使用會顯得多餘且不自然。表達一般能力時，直接用「can + 動詞」即可。
×She didn't managed to catch the bus.
✓She didn't manage to catch the bus.
在否定句和疑問句中，助動詞（如 did, didn't）後面要使用動詞原形（manage），而不是過去式（managed）。
×I managed him to do the work.
✓I managed to get him to do the work. / I persuaded him to do the work.
「Manage」作為「設法做到」的意思時，其句型是「manage to do something」，後面不直接接「人」作為受詞。若要表達「設法讓某人做某事」，需使用如「manage to get someone to do something」的結構，或換用其他動詞如「persuade」。
×We are managing to reduce costs next quarter.
✓We plan to / aim to / are trying to reduce costs next quarter.
「Manage to」用於描述「過去」已經成功完成的具體行動，不直接用於描述「未來」的計劃或意圖。表達未來意圖應使用「plan to」、「aim to」或「are trying to」。
×This project is very difficult to manage it.
✓This project is very difficult to manage.
在「主詞 + be動詞 + adjective + to-infinitive」的結構中，不定詞（to manage）的邏輯受詞就是句子的主詞（This project），因此不需要再添加代名詞（it）作為受詞，否則會造成受詞重複。
