常見錯誤

❌She capable did the job.
✅She capably did the job.
💡'capable' is an adjective; the adverb 'capably' must be used to modify the verb.
❌He handled the situation capable.
✅He capably handled the situation.
💡the adverb should go before the verb it modifies, and the adjectival form is incorrect here.
