常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Productive"?Which "Productive" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a productive.
✓He is productive.
Productive 是形容詞，不是名詞，不能直接加冠詞 a。
×This method is productive of good results.
✓This method is productive in achieving good results.
Productive 後面通常不直接接 'of' 來表示「產生...」。更自然的用法是接 'in' + V-ing 或直接修飾名詞。
×We need to increase the productive.
✓We need to increase productivity.
Productive 是形容詞，這裡需要名詞形式 'productivity'（生產力）。
×It was a very unproductive and not productive day.
✓It was a very unproductive day.
Unproductive 已經表示「沒有生產力的」，加上 'not productive' 是冗餘的。
×The land is very productive for growing crops.
✓The land is very fertile.
形容土地「肥沃」、適合耕種，更常用 'fertile'。'Productive' 用於土地時，通常指「產量高的」，但前提是土地本身已適合耕種。
×He has a productive behavior.
✓He has productive work habits.
Behavior 通常指具體的「行為舉止」，而 'productive' 修飾的常是更廣泛的習慣、時段、系統或人。'Productive habits', 'productive morning', 'productive system' 是更自然的搭配。
