文法句型

departmental + noun

用法筆記

Usually placed before a noun (attributive position). The noun 'department' by itself is used to name a division (e.g. 'the sales department'), whereas 'departmental' describes scope or ownership — something that belongs to or happens within that division.

常見錯誤

'departmental' is the adjective form; 'department' is a noun and should not be used to modify another noun in formal writing.

Use 'department manager' when you mean a manager who runs a department; 'departmental manager' can sound like a manager limited to one division.
