✓This movie sucks.
「suck」是動詞，不是形容詞。描述事物很糟時，應使用動詞第三人稱單數形式「sucks」。
×I sucked the juice from the bottle.

「suck」通常指用嘴巴「吸吮」液體或空氣，或用吸管吸取。直接喝瓶裝飲料一般用「drink」。

✓The vacuum cleaner sucks up dust.
「suck」表示「吸起、吸走」時，常與副詞「up」連用，形成片語動詞「suck up」。且「dust」是不可數名詞，沒有複數形。
×Don't suck your thumb, it's not polite.
✓Don't suck your thumb, it's a bad habit.
「suck one's thumb」（吸拇指）被視為一種不好的習慣，而非不禮貌的行為。描述時應使用「bad habit」或「childish habit」。

「suck」的主語通常是令人不愉快的事物本身，而不是感受主體「I」。表達自己心情低落或覺得今天很糟，應使用其他說法。
