×I will see you in the morning of Monday.
✓I will see you on Monday morning.
在英文中,當 morning 前面有特定日期(如 Monday、Christmas)修飾時,前面用介系詞 'on',而不是 'in the morning of'。
×I do exercise every morning.
✓I do exercise every morning.
此處 'morning' 為正確用法。常見錯誤是將 'every morning' 誤寫為 'every mornings'。'Every' 後面接單數名詞,所以是 'every morning'。
×Good morning, teacher Li.
✓Good morning, Mr./Ms. Li.
在英文中,對老師或專業人士的稱呼,通常使用頭銜加姓氏(如 Mr. Li),而不是 'teacher' 加姓氏。直接稱呼 'teacher' 是中文習慣的直譯。
×I arrived at 9 o'clock in the morning time.
✓I arrived at 9 o'clock in the morning.
'In the morning' 本身就表示「在早上」這個時段,後面不需要再加 'time'。加上 'time' 是多餘且不自然的。
×Tomorrow morning I will go to school.
✓I will go to school tomorrow morning.
雖然 'Tomorrow morning' 放在句首在文法上並非錯誤,但對初學者來說,常因此忽略主詞或造成語序混亂。更常見、穩定的自然語序是將時間副詞(tomorrow morning)放在句尾或主詞之後。
×I saw him in this morning.
✓I saw him this morning.
當 morning 前面有 'this', 'that', 'tomorrow', 'yesterday' 等詞時,前面不需要加介系詞 'in' 或 'on'。直接說 'this morning' 即可。
