×He is a member of the team.
✓He is a member of the team.
雖然句子本身正確，但學習者常忘記 'member' 是可數名詞，需要搭配冠詞 'a' 或 'the'，或使用複數形式。錯誤示範是將它當作不可數名詞使用，例如 'He is member of the team.'
×He is a member in the committee.
✓He is a member of the committee.
表示屬於某個團體或組織的成員時，固定搭配介系詞是 'of'，而不是 'in'。'In' 通常用於表示在某個地點或領域內。
×The member of the band plays guitar.
✓The member of the band plays guitar. (if one member) OR A member of the band plays guitar. OR The members of the band play guitar.
主詞 'member' 是單數，動詞需用單數形式 'plays'。句子本身在文法上正確，但學習者常因受 'of the band' 影響而誤用複數動詞 'play'。正確句子應保持主謂一致。
×I renewed my member for another year.
✓I renewed my membership for another year.
'Member' 指的是『成員、會員』這個人；而『會員資格、會籍』應該用 'membership'。要表示更新的是資格，而非人本身。
×I will member this important date.
✓I will remember this important date.
'Member' 是名詞，不是動詞。學習者有時會誤將其當作動詞『記住』使用。正確的動詞是 'remember'。
×He is my family member.
✓He is a member of my family. OR He is a family member. (less common in casual speech)
雖然 'family member' 在文法上正確，但在日常口語中，母語者更常說 'He is in my family' 或直接說明關係，如 'He is my brother'。'He is my family member' 聽起來不自然且有些冗餘。在正式或泛指情境下，'a family member' 是可接受的。
