Common English Mistake

1. 如何说: 我很怕

应说 I scare 或 I scared 或 I am scared 或 I am scare 呢?

正确解答: I am scared.

那 scared 这字是否是 ‘过去词’ Past Tense 呢?
其实，scared 这字并非 Past Tense, 它只是英文里所谓的形容词!

Answer – after Grammar check

You mentioned that you couldn't copied (copy) the files and all the files

in the original folder is disappear. (had disappeared) In that case, you

could login (log in) to our billing system to check on it. Appreciate for

('for' is not needed here) your kind understanding.

Explanations:

1) 在 couldn't/could/can 之后的动词，必须是 base form → 不可有 ing, ed 或 s

2) 'had disappeared' 是 ‘已消失’ 的意思，动作发生在 'mentioned' 之前。'had disappeared' 的句型，是英文里的 Past Perfect Tense。 'is disappear' 这句型，在英文里并不存在。

3) log in 是动词，login 是名词。想学习如何分辨动词与名词吗？立刻成为会员

4) 当我们使用英文里的 appreciate 时，后面是不须要 for 的！例如：

I appreciate your help. 而并不是 'I appreciate for your help.'

Common English Mistake 2

I interest in cars / I am interesting in cars / I interested in cars / I am interested in cars

以上哪一句才是正确的说出: : 我对汽车感兴趣

正确解答: I am interested in cars.

Interest 的意思 – (1) 利息（名词）

(2) 兴趣（名词）

His interest is to collect stamps. 他的兴趣是集邮。
