常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Various"?Which "Various" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×There are various of books on the shelf.
✓There are various books on the shelf.
「various」本身是形容詞，直接修飾名詞，不需要加「of」。加「of」的用法是錯誤的。
×I tried on various dresses, but they were all various.
✓I tried on various dresses, but they were all different.
「various」強調「多種、多樣」，而「different」強調「彼此不同」。當想表達「它們全都彼此不同」時，應用「different」。
×He has various interest.
✓He has various interests.
「various」意指「多種的」，因此其後所接的名詞幾乎總是複數形式，以符合「多樣」的語意。
×I called him various times, but he didn't answer.
✓I called him several times, but he didn't answer.
「various」強調「種類不同」，而「several」或「a few」強調「次數或數量（但不多）」。描述「幾次」電話時，應用「several」。若要強調打過「不同時間點」的電話，可用「at various times」。
×The various are all interesting.
✓The various options are all interesting.
「various」是形容詞，不能單獨作為名詞使用。它必須修飾一個名詞（如 options, kinds, types）。
×Each of the various methods is unique.
✓The various methods are each unique.
雖然語意上可能成立，但「various」與「each」或「every」連用時結構容易笨拙。更自然的說法是將「various」用於修飾複數主詞，再用「each」來補充說明。
