常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Shine"?Which "Shine" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The sun is shining bright.
✓The sun is shining brightly.
Shine 是動詞，修飾動詞要用副詞 brightly，而不是形容詞 bright。
×He shined his shoes yesterday.
✓He shone his shoes yesterday.
Shine 作為及物動詞（使發亮、擦亮）時，過去式和過去分詞可以是 shined 或 shone，但在英式英語中，shone 更為常見且正式。美式英語中，shined 用於及物意義（擦亮）也可接受，但許多學習者會過度使用 shined。建議區分：不及物（發光）用 shone，及物（擦亮）可用 shined 或 shone。
×Her eyes were shining of happiness.
✓Her eyes were shining with happiness.
表達因某種情感或品質而閃耀時，正確的介系詞是 with，而不是 of。
×I will make my future to shine.
✓I will make my future shine.
在使役動詞 make 後面接動詞原形，不需要加 to。正確結構是 make + 受詞 + 動詞原形。
×The moon is shining on the water.
✓The moon is shining on the water. (Context-dependent: Might be correct, but often overused.)
這個句子文法正確，但學習者常過度依賴 'shine on' 這個搭配。實際上，shine 可單獨使用，或搭配其他介系詞（如 through, into）。應根據語境選擇合適表達，避免單一化。
×This product will shine your hair.
✓This product will make your hair shine. / This product will give your hair shine.
Shine 作為及物動詞時，賓語通常是需要被擦亮或照亮的物體（如 shoes, light）。對於頭髮、未來等抽象或效果性的閃亮，更自然的表達是使用 make ... shine 或 give ... shine 的結構。
