  • on Sundays 則表示「在星期日這天」作為一種習慣或規律,意思是「每逢星期日」。
  • 在談論固定的日程或習慣時,使用複數形式 on Sundays 更為常見。
  • 當上下文已明確是哪個星期日(例如搭配 this, last, next, every)時,則使用單數形式 Sunday,且常省略介系詞 on。 EN: Let's meet for brunch on Sunday. 翻譯: 我們星期日早午餐見面吧。(指即將到來的這個星期日)

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Sunday"?Which "Sunday" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I will see you on the Sunday.

I will see you on Sunday.

當指即將到來的星期天或習慣性的星期天時,通常不使用定冠詞 'the'。

×I go to church every Sunday.

I go to church every Sunday.

此處 'Sunday' 為正確拼寫。常見錯誤是將複數形式 'Sundays' 誤用於 'every Sunday' 的語境中。'Every Sunday' 表示每個星期天,使用單數形式。

×I will arrive in Sunday morning.

I will arrive on Sunday morning.

指特定日子的上午、下午或晚上時,介系詞用 'on',而不是 'in' 或 'at'。

×See you next sunday.

See you next Sunday.

星期幾的名稱在英文中屬於專有名詞,首字母必須大寫。

×This is Sunday's newspaper.

This is Sunday's newspaper. / This is the Sunday newspaper.

此處 'Sunday's' 為正確用法,表示「星期天的報紙」。學習者有時會誤以為所有格形式錯誤而不敢使用。但需注意,'the Sunday newspaper' 也是常見且正確的說法。

×We are planning a Sunday picnic.

We are planning a Sunday picnic.

此處 'Sunday' 作為名詞修飾另一個名詞 'picnic',是正確用法,意為「在星期天舉行的野餐」。學習者有時會誤以為這裡需要所有格 'Sunday's' 或介系詞短語 'on Sunday'。
