常見錯誤

❌This bag is environmental friendly.
✅This bag is environmentally friendly.
💡'Environmentally' is an adverb; 'environmental' is an adjective and cannot modify 'friendly'.
❌A more environmentally friendlier option.
✅A more environmentally friendly option.
💡'Friendlier' already means 'more friendly', so 'more friendlier' is redundant.
