用法筆記

Frequently used with 'need' as in 'the fence needs repainting,' where the -ing form carries a passive meaning. Also common in the passive voice ('the kitchen was repainted'). The verb implies a complete re-coating of a surface, not just a minor touch-up.

常見錯誤

I repainted the wall again last year.
I repainted the wall last year.
'repaint' already means 'paint again', so adding 'again' is redundant.
