註:介詞 with 後面應用名詞作介詞的受詞;angry 是形容詞,anger 是名詞。
2. 他過分客氣,沒表示意見。
ˇ He is over modest and withholds his opinion.

χ He is over modesty and withholds his opinion.
註:modesty 是名詞,modest 是形容詞,描寫或修飾主詞,應以形容詞作補語。
3. 我對你的作品印象非常深刻。
ˇ I am very impressed with your work.
χ I am much impressed with your work.
註:much 修飾動詞,very 修飾副詞或形容詞, 所以這句應用 very。試比較:
I am very fond of dancing.
I like dancing very much.
4. 她看起來很高興。
ˇ She looks very happy.
χ She looks very happily.
註:be, look, smell, taste 等詞用作連繫動詞時,後面只能接形容詞、代名詞作補語。試比較:
He looks greedy.
He looked greedily at the money.(此句中 looked 為一般動詞,意為「看著」,不作連繫動詞用。)
下列句子中的錯誤屬同類性質:
ˇ The table feels smooth.
χ The table feels smoothly.
ˇ All the data has been wiped clean.
χ All the data has been wiped cleanly.
5. 如果你不能保持安靜,請你離開。
ˇ If you can’t keep quiet, please leave.
χ If you can’t keep quietly, please leave.
註:這裏 keep 表示狀態,作連繫動詞,後面應用形容詞quiet,不用副詞 quietly。其他的例子如下:
My mother doesn’t like to sit idle.
The child sat still for quite a long while.
Completely taken aback, he stood mute.
In the evening he came home tired.
