worried vs concerned
「worried」帶有更多個人情感上的不安與憂慮；「concerned」則較為正式、客觀，常表示基於理性判斷的關切。

「worried」側重於心理上對壞結果的憂慮；「nervous」則更側重於對即將發生的事件感到緊張、不安，可能伴隨生理反應。

正式寫作注意：在正式書寫（如報告、論文）中，應避免使用上述口語結構（如引述動詞 "was like"、填充詞 "kind of"、對話式的停頓）。建議改用更精確、完整的句子，例如 "expressed concern" 或 "felt apprehensive"。

×I am worried for my exam.

使用 'worried' 時，正確的介系詞是 'about'，表示對某事的擔憂。'for' 通常用於表示為某人擔憂，例如 'worried for someone'。
×I am very worry.
✓I am very worried.
'Worry' 是動詞原形或名詞。作為形容詞描述狀態時，必須使用過去分詞形式 'worried'。'Very' 等程度副詞修飾形容詞 'worried'。
×I worried that I will be late.
✓I am worried that I will be late.
表達當前的擔憂狀態時，'worried' 是形容詞，前面需要 be 動詞 (am/is/are/was/were)。單獨使用 'worried' 是動詞的過去式，表示過去發生的動作。
×I feel worrying about the future.
✓I feel worried about the future.
'Feel' 是連綴動詞，後面應接形容詞描述主語的狀態。'Worried' 是形容詞，意為『感到擔憂的』。'Worrying' 是現在分詞，常作為形容詞意為『令人擔憂的』，描述事物特性。
×She is not worried at all for the mistake.
✓She is not worried about the mistake at all.
片語 'at all' 用於否定句加強語氣時，通常放在句尾。介系詞 'about' 仍需緊接在 'worried' 之後。
×My mother is always worried me.
✓My mother is always worried about me.
'Worried' 作為形容詞時是不及物的，不能直接接受詞。必須透過介系詞 'about' 來連接擔憂的對象。如果想直接以動詞表示，可以說 'My mother always worries about me.'。
