常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Taxi"?Which "Taxi" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The plane is taxiing on the runway.
✓The plane is taxiing on the runway.
The present participle of 'taxi' is 'taxiing' (with two 'i's), not 'taxiing' (with one 'i'). This is a common spelling mistake due to the unusual doubling of the 'i' before adding '-ing'.
×We taxied to the hotel.
✓We took a taxi to the hotel.
The verb 'taxi' is not used for passengers riding in a taxi car. It is only used for the movement of aircraft on the ground or, less commonly, boats. For passengers, use phrases like 'take a taxi', 'go by taxi', or 'cab'.
×The pilot taxied the plane for takeoff.
✓The pilot taxied the plane for takeoff.
The past tense and past participle of 'taxi' is 'taxied', not 'taxied' or 'taxi'd'. This is a regular verb, so simply add '-ed'.
×The boat is taxiing across the lake.
✓The boat is moving/skimming across the lake.
While 'taxi' can technically be used for a boat moving on the surface of water, this usage is very rare and specialized (e.g., seaplanes). For most contexts involving boats, it sounds unnatural. Use more common verbs like 'move', 'skim', 'glide', or 'cruise'.
×I will taxi you to the station.
✓I will drive you to the station. / I will give you a lift to the station.
The verb 'taxi' is not used for the driver's action of transporting someone in a car, even if it's a taxi. It is specific to the movement of the vehicle itself (aircraft/boat). For drivers, use 'drive', 'take (someone)', or 'give (someone) a lift'.
