用法說明
How is "Put" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Put"?
put + 地方 vs. put + 物品
- put + 地方 的結構（如
put in the box）聽起來不自然，因為put是及物動詞，需要一個受詞（物品）來表示「放置」的動作。 - 正確的結構是 put + 物品 + 地方，使用介系詞（如
in,on,under）來連接地點。 - 口語中，有時會省略「物品」受詞，但前提是上下文必須非常清楚所指為何物。
對比例句： EN: Please put in the drawer. 翻譯: 請放進抽屜裡。 (聽起來不完整，不知道要放什麼)
EN:Please put the keys in the drawer.
翻譯:請把鑰匙放進抽屜裡。 (正確)
對比例句： EN: She put on the table. 翻譯: 她放在桌子上。 (語意模糊)
EN:She put the book on the table.
翻譯:她把書放在桌子上。 (正確)
總結建議
使用 put 時，記得遵循「put + 物品 + 介系詞 + 地方」的結構，以確保語意清晰正確。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Put"?Which "Put" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I putted the book on the table.
✓I put the book on the table.
"Put" 是不規則動詞，其過去式和過去分詞都是 "put"，不是 "putted"。
×Please put on it.
✓Please put it on.
當 "put" 與副詞小品詞 (如 on, away, down) 連用，且受詞是代名詞 (it, them) 時，代名詞必須放在動詞和副詞小品詞之間。
×He puts always his phone on silent.
✓He always puts his phone on silent.
頻率副詞 (如 always, usually, never) 通常放在主要動詞之前。但若動詞是 "be"，則頻率副詞放在 "be" 之後。
×Can you put the light?
✓Can you put on the light? / Can you turn on the light?
表達「開燈」的固定說法是 "put on the light" 或更常見的 "turn on the light"。單獨使用 "put" 意思不完整。
×I will put him to know the news.
✓I will let him know the news. / I will put him in the picture.
"Put someone to know" 不是英文慣用語。表達「告知某人」應使用 "let someone know" 或 "inform someone"。"Put someone in the picture" 是俚語，意指告知某人所有細節。
×She put her son to sleep by reading a story.
✓She put her son to bed by reading a story.
"Put someone to sleep" 通常指讓某人（透過藥物）入睡，或用於動物安樂死 (euthanize)，語氣較強烈。哄小孩睡覺的常用說法是 "put someone to bed"。
