Debug Answer
He is friendly to me. friendly的結尾ly,讓不少人誤以為是副詞,其實它是形容詞。而形容詞不能修飾動詞,必須將原句結構 treat someone + 副詞,改為 be friendly to someone,表示對(某人)友善的意思。
Lots of people have complained about the noise. complaint長得像動詞,但其實為名詞;相反的,complain長得像名詞,但其實是動詞,來看例句:
• complain (v.):I hate to complain, but the film was terrible. 我不想抱怨,但這部電影真的很爛。
• complaint (n.):I've filed a complaint with the police about the noise. 我已經跟警察投訴噪音的事情。
My sister is passionate about football. passion 是熱情、熱衷的名詞,passionate才是形容詞,因此要表達「熱衷於...」,要說has/have a passion for something,或是be passionate about something:
• My sister has a lifelong passion for football. (我妹妹一生都熱衷於足球。) • My sister is passionate for football.(我妹妹很熱衷於足球。)
You left the door open. 很多人以為要在動詞後面加ed才會是形容詞,但open這個字當動詞也當形容詞:Please open the door.(請開門。);The door is open.(門是開的。)
She seemed relaxed and in control of the situation.
relax也常讓人搞混。動詞為relax: • You should take a bath and relax.(你該好好洗個澡然後放鬆。)
形容詞為relaxed或relaxing,relaxed表示感到自在從容的、無拘無束的:
• My parents are fairly relaxed about me staying out late. (我在外面待很晚我父母也不會感到太緊張。)
