用法筆記

Only used before a noun or after a linking verb; the hyphen is usually kept even in predicative position (e.g. 'she is very clued-up'). Cannot be used with an infinitive ('clued-up to do') — use 'knowledgeable enough to' instead.

❌She is very clued-up in computers.
✅She is very clued-up about computers.
💡use 'about' or 'on', not 'in'.
