用法說明
How is "Planning" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Planning"?
planning on doing vs planning to do
- planning on + V-ing 通常用於口語，強調「打算、預期」某個活動或情況會發生，後面常接名詞或動名詞。
- planning to + V 是更正式、更常見的用法，直接表達「計畫去做」某個具體動作，強調意圖和安排。
- 在大多數正式寫作和語境中，planning to do 是更安全、更推薦的選擇。
- 兩者在日常對話中常可互換，但 planning on 有時暗示的確定性稍低於 planning to。 EN: We are planning on having a meeting next Tuesday. 翻譯: 我們正打算下週二開個會。
EN:We are planning to finalize the budget next Tuesday.
翻譯:我們計畫在下週二完成預算定案。
EN:She's planning on a career change.
翻譯:她正考慮轉換職業跑道。
EN:She is planning to submit her resignation next month.
翻譯:她計畫在下個月提交辭呈。
總結建議
在正式書寫或明確表達未來行動意圖時，建議使用「planning to + 動詞原形」。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Planning"?Which "Planning" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×We are planning to go to the beach.
✓We are planning on going to the beach.
雖然 "plan to do something" 是正確的，但 "planning on + gerund (V-ing)" 是更常見且自然的搭配，尤其是在口語中談論具體計畫時。"plan to" 較常用於較正式或書面的未來意圖。
×We need to make a careful planning before we start.
✓We need to do careful planning before we start.
"Planning" 作為「規劃活動」時是不可數名詞，前面不加 "a"，也不使用 "make" 作為動詞搭配。應使用 "do planning" 或直接使用動詞 "plan"。
×City planning is important for urban development.
✓City planning / Urban planning is important for development.
原句語法正確，但概念上 "city planning" 和 "urban planning" 是更標準的專業術語。此處提醒學習者注意固定搭配，而非語法錯誤。
×The planning of the event took three months.
✓The planning for the event took three months.
當 "planning" 指「為某事的規劃工作」時，常用介系詞 "for"。"Planning of" 雖然語法可能正確，但聽起來較不自然，更像是指「某個計畫的內容」，而非「規劃的過程」。
×What are your plannings for the weekend?
✓What are your plans for the weekend?
"Planning" 是不可數名詞，指「規劃的行為或過程」。具體的「計畫、安排」應使用可數名詞 "plan" (複數: plans)。
×I am planning I will visit my parents next month.
✓I am planning to visit my parents next month.
在 "planning" 後面不接完整的子句 "I will..."。應使用 "planning to + 動詞原形" 或 "planning on + gerund" 來表達計畫的具體內容。
