用法筆記

Typically used predicatively after 'feel' (e.g., 'I feel fulfilled'). In attributive position ('a fulfilled life', 'a fulfilled career'), the adjective describes something that provides satisfaction rather than someone experiencing it. The verb 'fulfill' is used for completing tasks or promises.

常見錯誤

❌The project is fulfilled.
✅The project is complete.
💡'Fulfilled' as an adjective describes a person's feelings, not a task's status. Use the verb form ('I fulfilled all the requirements') or a different adjective for task completion.
❌I feel fulfilled of my goals.
✅I feel fulfilled because I achieved my goals.
💡'Fulfilled of' is not grammatical. Use 'fulfilled by' or 'fulfilled because of' to introduce the source of fulfillment.
