用法說明
How is "Shopping" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Shopping"?
go shopping vs do the shopping
- go shopping 泛指「去購物」這個活動或休閒行為，通常沒有特定的購物清單，目的性較弱。
- do the shopping 則指「完成採購（任務）」，通常有明確的購物清單（如日常用品、食物），是例行性或任務性的。
- 當 shopping 與特定商店或商品類型連用時，如 grocery shopping 或 clothes shopping，兩者皆可使用，但 do the... shopping 更強調「完成該類採買」。 EN: Let's go shopping at the mall this afternoon. 翻譯: 我們今天下午去購物中心逛街吧。
EN:I need to do the shopping for groceries before dinner.
翻譯:我需要在晚餐前完成食品雜貨的採買。
總結建議
一般休閒購物用 go shopping，有特定清單或任務性的採買則用 do the shopping。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Shopping"?Which "Shopping" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I need to do a shopping.
✓I need to do some shopping.
在英文中，'shopping' 作為不可數名詞，表示購物活動時，通常不會與不定冠詞 'a' 連用。應使用 'some shopping'、'the shopping' 或直接使用 'go shopping'、'do shopping'。
×I went to shopping yesterday.
✓I went shopping yesterday.
'Go shopping' 是一個固定的動詞片語，表示「去購物」。在 'go' 和活動動詞的 -ing 形式（如 shopping, swimming, fishing）之間不需要介系詞 'to'。
×I bought many shoppings.
✓I bought many things / items.
'Shopping' 是不可數名詞，指「購物」這個活動或行為，而不是指購買的「物品」。不能加上複數 's'，也不能用 'many' 修飾。要表示購買的具體物品，應使用 'things'、'items'、'groceries' 等可數名詞。
×This is a good shop for shoppings.
✓This is a good shop for shopping.
同樣地，'shopping' 是不可數名詞，表示「購物」這個活動。介系詞 'for' 後面應接活動本身（shopping），而不是一個不存在的複數形式。
×I enjoy to go shopping.
✓I enjoy going shopping.
動詞 'enjoy' 後面必須接動名詞 (V-ing) 作受詞，不能接不定詞 (to V)。這是動詞後方接續形式的固定規則。
×I will make shopping tomorrow.
✓I will go shopping / do the shopping tomorrow.
在英文中，表示「進行購物」這個動作，最常見的動詞搭配是 'go shopping'（泛指去購物）或 'do the/some shopping'（特指完成採買任務）。'Make shopping' 是不正確的搭配。
