反義詞

文法句型

sleeveless + noun [clothing item]

用法筆記

Commonly used as an attributive adjective before the noun for a garment (sleeveless shirt / dress / top / jacket). Not used after linking verbs in the same way as most adjectives — a shirt is not described as 'sleeveless' in the predicate as often as it is used before the noun.

常見錯誤

❌She bought a sleeves dress for summer.
✅She bought a sleeveless dress for summer.
💡'sleeves' is the plural noun for the fabric tubes covering the arms; 'sleeveless' is the adjective meaning 'without sleeves'.
❌He wore a short sleeves shirt.
✅He wore a sleeveless shirt.
💡'short-sleeved' means the sleeves stop above the elbow, not that there are no sleeves at all.
