文法句型

downslope + noun

用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun (attributive position). Less common in predicative position ('the path is downslope' sounds slightly unnatural; 'the path goes downslope' is more natural).

常見錯誤

The downslope is steep.
The slope is steep.
'Downslope' is an adjective describing direction, not a noun for the slope itself.
We went downslope direction.
We went in a downslope direction.' or 'We went downslope.
As an adjective, it modifies the noun directly; no extra 'direction' needed when using the adverb form.
