用法筆記

Usually written as 'cont.' with a period when space is tight, especially in notes, tables, page headings, and older print layouts. In ordinary sentences or speech, writers normally use the full word 'continued' or the verb 'continue' instead.

常見錯誤

❌The class is cont. next week.
✅The class continues next week.
💡use the full verb in ordinary sentences; 'cont.' is only a written abbreviation.
❌Please read the cont chapter.
✅Please read the continued chapter.
💡the abbreviation works as a label or note, not as a regular adjective inside running prose.
