用法筆記

Often used with adverbs such as 'deeply', 'genuinely', 'truly', and 'really' to emphasise the strength of the feeling. The object can be a person, a group, an issue, or a situation. This phrase is inseparable — no word goes between 'care' and 'about'.

常見錯誤

❌I care about you about your problem.
✅I care about you and your problem.
💡'care about' takes a single object; use 'and' to list multiple items.
❌I care to the environment.
✅I care about the environment.
💡'care about' needs the preposition 'about'; 'care to' means something different (be willing to).
