常見錯誤

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

×We together went to the park.

We went to the park together.

作為副詞的 "together" 通常不放在主詞和動詞之間,而是放在句尾或受詞之後。

×He came together with his brother and his friend.

He came with his brother and his friend.

"together with" 已經包含「一起」的意思,後面接多個項目時,不需要再加 "and" 來連接所有項目。通常 "together with" 後面只接一個主要伴隨對象。若要列出多個同伴,直接用 "with" 或 "and" 即可。

×They are a together couple.

They are a close couple. / They get along very well.

"together" 作為形容詞在口語中雖可表示「有條理的」、「穩重的」或「關係親密的」,但直接用 "a together couple" 來形容情侶關係親密並不自然。應使用更常見的形容詞如 "close", "united", 或片語 "get along well"。

×They talked together with each other.

They talked to each other. / They had a conversation together.

"together" 和 "each other" 意思重複。"each other" 已經暗示了相互的動作,通常不需要再加 "together"。若要強調「一起」進行,可以只用 "together" 或調整句子結構。

×I can't do two things together.

I can't do two things at the same time.

表達「同時做兩件事」通常用 "at the same time" 或 "simultaneously"。"together" 主要強調「在相同地點」或「以合作方式」,而非嚴格的時間同時性。

×We don't live together in the same house.

We don't live in the same house.

在否定句中,"together" 常常是多餘的,因為 "not in the same house" 已經清楚表達了「不在一起」的狀態。加入 "together" 會使句子聽起來不自然或矛盾。
