常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Trumpet"?Which "Trumpet" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He trumpeted the news loudly.
✓He trumpeted the news.
The verb 'trumpet' already implies making something known in a loud, forceful, or public way. Adding 'loudly' is redundant and unnatural in most contexts.
×She is trumpeting about her success to everyone.
✓She is trumpeting her success to everyone.
The verb 'trumpet' is transitive when meaning 'to announce or proclaim loudly'. It does not require the preposition 'about' before the object being announced.
×They trumpeted him as a hero.
✓They trumpeted him as a hero.
This is actually correct. A common mistake is thinking this pattern is wrong. 'Trumpet someone/something as...' is a standard pattern for proclaiming a specific quality or role.
×The announcement was trumpeted by the government.
✓The government trumpeted the announcement.
While the passive voice is grammatically possible, the verb 'trumpet' is most commonly and naturally used in the active voice to emphasize the agent who is doing the loud proclaiming.
×He likes to trumpet.
✓He likes to trumpet his opinions.
'Trumpet' as a verb requires an object (what is being proclaimed). It is not used intransitively in the sense of 'to boast' without specifying what is being boasted about.
×The bird trumpeted a beautiful sound.
✓The elephant trumpeted.
When referring to the sound an animal makes, 'trumpet' is used specifically for elephants (and a few other animals like swans). It is not a general verb for any loud or beautiful animal sound. Also, it is usually used intransitively in this context.
