常見錯誤

The man is mustachioed.
The man has a moustache.' or 'A mustachioed man walked in.
💡the adjective is awkward after 'be'; English prefers the attributive form or the verb 'have'.
mustachioed lip
mustachioed face' or 'mustachioed man
💡the word modifies the person or face, not the lip or moustache itself.
