文法句型

[number]-year enlistment

complete + enlistment

用法筆記

Distinguish from sense 1: this sense refers to the duration of service, not the act of joining. You can talk about 'extending' or 'completing' an enlistment only in this sense. Frequently preceded by a length of time: a two-year enlistment, a five-year enlistment.

常見錯誤

❌His enlistment took six months.' (when you mean the process took six months)

✅His enlistment lasted six years.

💡sense 3 is about the period of service, not how long it took to sign up.
