用法筆記

Lunar is a classifying adjective — it places things into the category 'of the moon' and is never used in comparative or superlative forms (❌ more lunar, ❌ the most lunar). It appears almost exclusively before nouns (attributive position), not after linking verbs (❌ The landscape was lunar). If you need a descriptive adjective after a verb, use 'moonlike' instead.

常見錯誤

The lunar' (as a noun meaning the moon itself).
The lunar surface' or simply 'the moon.
'lunar' is an adjective, never a noun in standard English.
The landscape was very lunar.
The landscape looked like a lunar landscape.
'lunar' is a classifying adjective and cannot be graded with 'very'.
