用法筆記

Held is an irregular past form — it does not end in -ed. It serves as both the simple past (I held the door open) and the past participle (She has held that job for years). To form negatives and questions in simple past, use did not hold / Did ... hold?, since held is already in past form.

常見錯誤

❌He holded the trophy tight.

✅He held the trophy tight.

💡hold is irregular; do not add -ed.

❌She has hold my hand before.

✅She has held my hand before.

💡after have/has, the past participle held is required, not the base form.

held + noun

be + held

用法筆記

Typically used before a noun (attributive position) rather than after a linking verb. Common in fixed collocations: held breath (breath intentionally not released), held position (job or office retained), held items (objects kept in storage or safekeeping), held note (a musical tone sustained for a long duration).

常見錯誤

❌The meeting is held postponed.

✅The meeting is held.' or 'The meeting is postponed.

💡held already means the meeting took place; do not combine with another past participle.

❌She had a held opinion about that.' (vague)

✅She held strong opinions about education reform.

💡the adjective form works best with concrete nouns like breath, position, items, note; for opinions, the verb form is often more natural.
