常見錯誤

❌The coffee energized me up.
✅The coffee energized me.
💡'energize' already means to give energy and does not need the particle 'up'.
❌I energized after sleeping.
✅I felt energized after sleeping.
💡when describing your own state after an energy-giving event, use feel + energized (adjective complement), not the verb alone.
