常見錯誤

❌There was a notable scratch on the table.
✅There was a noticeable scratch on the table.
💡'notable' implies importance or significance; a small mark that can be seen but is not important needs 'noticeable' instead.
❌She is notable for to raise money.
✅She is notable for raising money.
💡the preposition 'for' must be followed by a noun phrase or gerund, never a bare infinitive.
