常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Smoking"?Which "Smoking" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I am smoking a cigarette.
✓I smoke cigarettes.
使用現在進行式 'am smoking' 暗示正在抽菸的動作，但描述習慣時應使用現在簡單式 'smoke'。
×He stopped to smoke last year.
✓He stopped smoking last year.
'stop to smoke' 意思是停下手邊的事去抽菸，而 'stop smoking' 才是戒菸的意思。
×My father is a smoking man.
✓My father is a smoker. / My father smokes.
用 'a smoking man' 不自然，聽起來像他正在冒煙。描述有抽菸習慣的人應使用名詞 'smoker' 或動詞 'smokes'。
×I saw him smoked in the park.
✓I saw him smoking in the park.
感官動詞（如 see, hear）後接受詞，再接現在分詞（V-ing）表示看到動作正在進行。使用過去分詞（smoked）是錯誤的。
×Smoking is prohibited to do here.
✓Smoking is prohibited here.
'prohibit' 後直接接禁止的事物（如動名詞 smoking），不需要加 'to do'。
×He gave up smoke.
✓He gave up smoking.
片語 'give up'（放棄）後面必須接動名詞（V-ing），不能接動詞原形。
