常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Piece"?Which "Piece" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need a piece paper.
✓I need a piece of paper.
「piece」作為名詞表示「一片、一塊」時，必須與介系詞「of」連用，再接不可數名詞。直接將名詞放在「piece」後面是常見錯誤。
×He pieced together the broken vase.
✓He pieced the broken vase back together.
片語動詞「piece together」的受詞若為名詞，通常可以放在「piece」和「together」之間，或放在「together」之後。但當受詞是代名詞（如 it, them）時，則必須放在中間（piece it together）。此處修正為更自然、強調恢復原狀的語序「piece...back together」。
×Let me give you a piece advice.
✓Let me give you a piece of advice.
與錯誤一類似，但特別針對抽象不可數名詞（如 advice, information, news）。這些名詞前也必須使用「a piece of」。
×She pieced the quilt.
✓She pieced the quilt together. / She made a quilt from pieces of fabric.
動詞「piece」單獨使用時，語意不完整。它通常需要與「together」連用，表示「拼湊、組合」，或需明確說明使用的材料（如 from pieces of...）。單獨使用「pieced」會讓人困惑拼湊的動作或結果是什麼。
×I'd like two pieces of breads.
✓I'd like two pieces of bread.
在「a piece of + 不可數名詞」的結構中，即使前面有數詞（two, three），後面的不可數名詞仍必須保持單數形式，不可加 's'。
