supervisory + noun

用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun (“supervisory staff,” “supervisory duties”). The noun being described refers to a person, a group, or a role that involves overseeing others.

常見錯誤

❗ ‘She has a superior role in the project’ (when meaning overseeing). ✅ ‘She has a supervisory role in the project.’ — ‘superior’ means higher in rank or quality, not necessarily overseeing others; ‘supervisory’ specifically describes the job of watching over work.
