常见误用提醒
使用 pretentiously：He pretentiously said he was the best. → He said pretentiously that he was the best. (错误：副词位置不当，应放在动词后或句末修饰动词。正确：将pretentiously放在动词said后，更自然地描述说话方式。)
使用 pretentiously：She is pretentiously. → She acts pretentiously. (错误：pretentiously是副词，不能直接作表语修饰名词。正确：使用动词如acts来搭配副词，描述行为方式。)
使用 pretentious：He is very pretentious to his friends. → He acts pretentious around his friends. (错误在于误用 'to' 表示对象，应改为 'around' 或调整句型，'pretentious' 通常描述行为或态度，而非直接对象。)
