文法句型

starring + noun

用法筆記

Attributive only — always placed before a noun (*starring role*, never *the role is starring*). Do not confuse with the verb *star* (*She stars in the film*), where *starring* is the progressive form (*She is starring in the film*).

常見錯誤

He got the role starring in the movie.
He got the starring role in the movie.
'starring' as an adjective must go before the noun it describes.
The actress is very starring this year.
The actress is starring in a major film this year.
'starring' is not a stand-alone adjective describing a person; use the verb form.
