shut vs. close
- 「shut」 通常帶有更強烈的「完全關閉、緊閉」或「終止運作」的意味，語氣比「close」更強、更絕對。
- 「close」 是較為通用、中性的「關閉」用詞，適用於大多數情況，如關門、關窗、關店。
- 在祈使句或命令語氣中，「Shut the door!」 比 「Close the door.」 聽起來更為強硬或不耐煩。
- 在表示「關閉（電器、系統）」時，兩者常可互換，但「shut down」專指「（使機器、系統）完全停止運作」。

"Shut" 是不規則動詞，其過去式和過去分詞都是 "shut"，而非 "shutted"。
×Please shut the light.
✓Please turn off the light.
關閉電器、開關（如電燈、電腦）通常用 "turn off"。"Shut" 主要用於關閉有開口或可移動部件的物體（如門、窗、書本、商店）。
×The shop shuts at 6 PM always.
✓The shop always shuts at 6 PM.
頻率副詞（如 always, usually, never）通常放在主要動詞之前（be 動詞之後）。此處 "shuts" 是主要動詞，"always" 應置於其前。
×I need to shut down my phone.
✓I need to turn off my phone.
"Shut down" 通常用於關閉較複雜的系統或機器，如電腦、伺服器、工廠。對於手機、電燈等日常電器，更自然的說法是 "turn off"。

×The door was shut by wind.
✓The door was shut by the wind.
當被動語態中動作的執行者是特定、已知的事物時，通常需要定冠詞 "the"。這裡 "wind" 是導致門關閉的特定原因，因此需要 "the"。
