常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Wednesday"?Which "Wednesday" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I have a meeting on Wednesday.
✓I have a meeting on Wednesday.
雖然句子本身正確，但學習者常將 'Wednesday' 誤拼為 'Wensday' 或 'Wednsday'。正確拼寫必須包含 'dnes' 的部分。
×I will see you Wednesday.
✓I will see you on Wednesday.
在表示特定星期幾時，通常需要使用介系詞 'on'。省略 'on' 在口語中雖可接受，但在正式書寫或初學者學習時，建議使用完整結構。
×We meet every Wednesdays.
✓We meet every Wednesday.
使用 'every'、'this'、'next'、'last' 等詞修飾星期幾時，星期幾必須使用單數形式，不可加 's'。
×The event is on 星期三.
✓The event is on Wednesday.
在撰寫英文句子時，星期幾必須使用英文單字，不可直接插入中文或其他語言的字詞。
×It's Wednesday today.
✓Today is Wednesday.
'It's Wednesday today.' 在文法上並非錯誤，但對初學者來說，使用 'Today is Wednesday.' 是更直接、更常見的句型，能避免與 'It is...' 表示天氣或時間的結構混淆。
