用法說明
How is "Paragraph" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Paragraph"?
paragraph 與 paragraph that
- paragraph 後面直接接名詞或名詞片語，表示「將...分段」或「為...寫段落」，是較為直接、常見的用法。
- paragraph that 則用於引導一個完整的子句，說明段落所闡述的具體內容或觀點，結構上更正式、更具解釋性。
- 當受詞是具體事物（如文章、報告）時，通常使用 paragraph；當需要詳細說明段落的主旨或論點時，則使用 paragraph that。
對比例句： EN: Please paragraph your essay clearly. 翻譯: 請將你的文章清楚地分段。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Paragraph"?Which "Paragraph" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×Please paragraph your ideas.
✓Please organize your ideas into paragraphs.
「paragraph」作為動詞時，意思是「將...分段」，但通常不直接以「paragraph + 名詞」的結構使用。更自然的說法是使用「organize/divide/separate into paragraphs」。
×I will paragraph about my vacation.
✓I will write a paragraph about my vacation.
「paragraph」作為動詞時，意思是「寫成段落」或「分段」，而不是「寫關於...的段落」。它是一個及物動詞，後面通常接被分段的文本（如 essay, text），而不是用「about」引導的主題。要表達「寫一個關於...的段落」，應使用「write a paragraph about...」。
×This text is well paragraphed.
✓This text is well organized into paragraphs.
雖然「paragraph」作為動詞有被動語態（如：The essay was paragraphed by the student.），但在描述「文章段落組織良好」時，使用「well paragraphed」並不自然。更地道的說法是「well organized/structured into paragraphs」或「has clear paragraphing」。
×Can you paragraph it?
✓Can you break this into paragraphs? / Can you add paragraphs to this?
在口語或一般指導中，直接使用「paragraph it」作為動詞指令可能令人困惑或聽起來不自然。更清晰的說法是使用「break/divide/organize into paragraphs」或「add paragraphs」。
×We learned how to paragraph in English class.
✓We learned how to write/format paragraphs in English class.
「paragraph」作為動詞在一般學習情境中較少單獨使用來表示「學習寫段落」。更常見的是說「learn to write/organize/form paragraphs」，強調的是寫作或組織段落的技能。
