常見錯誤

❌She strolled the supermarket quickly to buy milk.
✅She walked through the supermarket quickly to buy milk.
💡strolling implies a relaxed pace, so it does not fit hurried or task-driven walking.
❌I am strolling my dog in the park.
✅I am walking my dog in the park.
💡strolling is intransitive; it does not take a direct object like the animal you take out.
