文法句型

用法筆記

This verb is intransitive and nearly always followed by a prepositional phrase indicating direction or location (along, down, through, across, around). The simple past or past continuous is the most common tense.

常見錯誤

She walked the dog.
amble is intransitive and cannot take a direct object.
He ambled quickly to the station.
He hurried to the station.
amble describes slow, relaxed movement; it does not go with 'quickly' or 'hurriedly'.
