常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Stage"?Which "Stage" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×They will stage a protest tomorrow.
✓They will stage a protest tomorrow.
雖然句子本身正確，但學習者常誤以為 'stage' 在此是名詞（舞台），而無法理解其作為動詞（舉辦、組織）的用法。需注意 'stage' 作為動詞時，意思是「策劃、舉辦（活動）」。
×They staged the play with the school auditorium.
✓They staged the play in the school auditorium.
表達「在某個地點舉辦或上演」時，應使用介系詞 'in'、'at' 或 'on'，而不是 'with'。'With' 通常表示使用工具或與某人一起。
×The activists are planning to stage.
✓The activists are planning to stage a demonstration.
'Stage' 作為及物動詞時，後面必須接賓語（object），說明策劃或舉辦的是什麼活動（如 protest, play, event）。
×The accident staged near the intersection.
✓The accident happened/occurred near the intersection.
'Stage' 不是 'happen'（發生）的同義詞。'Stage' 隱含「人為精心策劃與組織」的意思，通常用於演出、活動或抗議。意外事件是自然發生的，不能用 'stage'。
×A surprise party was staged by her friends for her birthday.
✓Her friends staged a surprise party for her birthday.
雖然被動語態文法正確，但在描述「某人做了某事」時，主動語態更直接、自然且常用。除非想特別強調受詞（驚喜派對）或動作執行者不明，否則建議使用主動語態。
