常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Pull"?Which "Pull" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I pulled the door to open it.
✓I pulled the door open.
使用 'pull something open' 來表示透過拉這個動作使其打開。'Pull the door' 語意不完整，沒有說明結果。
×She pulled out her phone from her pocket.
✓She pulled her phone out of her pocket.
片語動詞 'pull out' 的受詞若是名詞，可以放在 'pull' 和 'out' 之間，也可以放在後面。但若受詞是代名詞（如 it, them），則必須放在中間（pull it out）。此處 'her phone' 是名詞，兩種語序皆可，但 'pull something out of...' 是更自然、更常見的語序。
×The dentist said he needs to pull off my tooth.
✓The dentist said he needs to pull out my tooth.
'Pull out' 用於將某物從其原本的位置拔出或取出，例如拔牙 (pull out a tooth)、拔插頭 (pull out the plug)。'Pull off' 意指成功完成困難之事，或用力將某物（如標籤、蓋子）撕下或扯下。兩者意思不同。
×I pulled him to stop fighting.
✓I pulled him away to stop the fight. / I pulled him apart to stop them fighting.
單用 'pull someone' 語意不清。要表達將人拉開以阻止爭鬥，需使用更具體的片語，如 'pull someone away'（將某人拉離某處）或 'pull someone apart'（將打架的人分開）。
×This suitcase is too heavy, I can't pull it.
✓This suitcase is too heavy, I can't pull it along. / I can't move it.
'Pull' 強調施加拉力使其朝自己的方向移動。對於非常重、可能拉不動的行李箱，說 'can't pull it' 語法正確但語意稍弱。更自然的說法是 'can't pull it along'（無法拉著走）或直接說 'can't move it'（搬不動）。
×He pulled a muscle when he was running.
✓He pulled a muscle while he was running.
表達在某個持續性活動或過程中發生某事，使用連接詞 'while' 比 'when' 更為精確和自然。'When' 更常用於指某個特定時間點。
