文法句型

surrounding + noun

用法筆記

Used only before a noun (attributive position). It cannot be used after a linking verb: correct usage is 'the surrounding area', not 'the area is surrounding'.

常見錯誤

The houses surrounding are old.
The surrounding houses are old.
'surrounding' must come directly before the noun it describes; it is not used predicatively.
