常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Teacher"?Which "Teacher" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×My mother is a English teacher.
✓My mother is an English teacher.
當單字以母音音素開頭時，應使用不定冠詞 'an'。'English' 的發音以母音 /ɪ/ 開頭，因此前面要用 'an'。
×The teachers room is on the second floor.
✓The teachers' room is on the second floor.
表示複數名詞的所有格時，應在複數形式後加上撇號 (')。'teachers' 是複數，其所有格應為 'teachers''。
×My teacher are very kind.
✓My teacher is very kind.
'teacher' 是可數名詞單數形式，作為主詞時，其後的動詞應使用第三人稱單數形式（如 is, has, teaches）。
×He is teacher.
✓He is a teacher.
在表示某人的職業或身分時，如果是可數名詞單數，前面通常需要不定冠詞 'a' 或 'an'。
×She is teacher of history.
✓She is a history teacher. / She is a teacher of history.
表示「某學科的老師」時，最常見且自然的說法是將學科名詞放在 'teacher' 前面作為修飾語（如 history teacher）。若使用 'teacher of...' 結構，前面仍需冠詞 'a'，且語氣較為正式。
×My university teacher is from Canada.
✓My university professor / lecturer / instructor is from Canada.
在高等教育（大學）環境中，通常使用 'professor', 'lecturer', 或 'instructor' 來稱呼教師。'Teacher' 更常用於中小學或一般教學情境。雖然 'teacher' 語義上沒錯，但在特定語境下顯得不夠自然或精確。
