standing doing vs standing to do
- standing doing 通常描述一個正在進行的、靜止的狀態或姿勢。它強調的是「站著」這個動作本身，或是以站姿進行的另一項活動。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Standing"?Which "Standing" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I am standing on the line for tickets.
✓I am standing in line for tickets.
在英語中，排隊通常用 'in line'（美式）或 'in the queue'（英式），而不是 'on the line'。'On the line' 通常指在電話線上或處於危險/關鍵位置。
×The books are standing on the shelf.
✓The books are on the shelf. / The books are sitting on the shelf.
'Standing' 通常用於描述有腳或底部支撐、能直立的人或物（如人、雕像、瓶子）。書本平放在書架上，通常用 'are on' 或 'are sitting on'（較口語）。若書本是直立擺放，則可用 'standing upright on'。
×I was standing there since 3 PM.
✓I have been standing here since 3 PM.
當描述從過去某一時間點開始，持續到現在的站立狀態時，應使用現在完成進行時（have been standing），而不是過去進行時（was standing）。過去進行時描述的是過去某個特定時刻正在進行的動作。
×Can you stand up the ladder against the wall?
✓Can you stand the ladder against the wall?
'Stand' 作為及物動詞時，意思是『使直立、豎起』，後面直接接賓語。加上 'up' 是多餘的，因為 'stand up' 通常用作不及物動詞片語，意為『起立』。
×My legs are paining from standing all day.
✓My legs are sore from standing all day. / My legs hurt from standing all day.
在英語中，'pain' 通常不作動詞描述身體部位疼痛（儘管在古英語或醫學語境中可能出現）。更自然、常見的說法是使用形容詞 'sore' 或動詞 'hurt'、'ache'。
×The decision is still standing.
✓The decision still stands.
表示規定、決定、提議等『仍然有效、成立』時，習慣使用 'stand' 的一般現在時（stands），強調其當前狀態，而不是進行時（is standing）。進行時更側重於暫時的、正在進行的站立動作。
