常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Unbelievable"?Which "Unbelievable" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×It is an unbelievable.
✓It is unbelievable.
「unbelievable」是形容詞，不能直接當名詞使用。當你想表達「難以置信的事物」時，應使用名詞形式，如「something unbelievable」或「an unbelievable thing」。
×It was very unbelievable.
✓It was unbelievable.
「unbelievable」本身已含有極端、強烈的語意（「難以置信的」），通常不需要再用「very」來修飾。使用「absolutely」、「completely」或「truly」等副詞會更自然。
×He is an unbelievable person. (intending to mean 'trustworthy')
✓He is an incredible person.
「unbelievable」主要描述事物「好到或極端到令人難以相信」，或用於負面表示「糟糕到令人無法相信」。描述一個人的本質、品格「令人欽佩、出色」時，使用「incredible」或「amazing」更為準確，以避免「unbelievable」可能帶有的「不可信賴」的負面聯想。
×Yesterday's game is unbelievable.
✓Yesterday's game was unbelievable.
描述過去發生的事件或狀態時，即使其影響持續至今，形容詞「unbelievable」所在的句子動詞時態仍需與主要時間狀語（如yesterday）保持一致，使用過去式。
×It was unbelievable experience.
✓It was an unbelievable experience.
當「unbelievable」修飾一個可數單數名詞（如experience, story, achievement）時，前面必須加上不定冠詞「an」（因為unbelievable以母音音素開頭）。
×unbelieveable
✓unbelievable
常見拼寫錯誤是將形容詞後綴「-able」誤拼為「-eable」。正確拼寫是去掉動詞「believe」字尾的「e」，直接加上「-able」，形成「unbelievable」。
