常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Perfect"?Which "Perfect" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×She perfects her skills yesterday.
✓She perfected her skills yesterday.
作為動詞時，'perfect' 需要根據時態變化。過去式應使用 'perfected'，而非原形 'perfects'。
×He wants to perfect.
✓He wants to perfect his craft.
動詞 'perfect' 是及物動詞，必須接一個受詞（通常是技巧、方法、產品等），不能單獨使用。
×This is a perfected opportunity.
✓This is a perfect opportunity.
'Perfect' 作形容詞時，表示「完美的」，沒有比較級或最高級變化，也不加 -ed。'Perfected' 是動詞的過去分詞，強調「被完善過的」，通常不修飾像 'opportunity' 這類抽象名詞。
×I am perfecting my English for five years.
✓I have been perfecting my English for five years.
當描述一個從過去持續到現在（並可能繼續）的「完善」過程時，應使用現在完成進行時 (have been perfecting)，而不是現在進行時 (am perfecting)。
×We need to make it more perfect.
✓We need to perfect it further. / We need to make it even better.
從語法嚴格角度，形容詞 'perfect' 意為「完美無缺」，傳統上被認為是絕對形容詞，不應與 'more' 或 'most' 連用。在口語中雖偶有使用，但在正式寫作或學習時，應避免。表達「更完善」可用 'perfect further', 'improve', 或 'make it even better'。
