常見錯誤

❌The evidence was amply.
✅The evidence was ample.
💡'Amply' is an adverb and cannot follow a linking verb as a subject complement; use the adjective 'ample' instead.
❌The room was amply big.
✅The room was amply large enough.
💡'Amply' before an adjective typically pairs with 'enough' or 'sufficient' to sound natural.
