常见错误

❌ 错误:There is a herd sheeps in the field.
✓ 正确:There is a herd of sheep in the field.

错误在于 herd 作为名词时,后面应接介词 of 来表示一群,且 sheep 是复数形式不变的名词,不应加 s。正确用法是 a herd of sheep。

❌ 错误:He herds the children to go to school.
✓ 正确:He herds the children to school.

错误在于使用了冗余的 to go,herd 作为动词已包含驱赶或引导的意思,直接接目的地即可。正确用法是 herd someone to a place。
