由於出現左吸塵機(vacuum cleaner)呢樣電器,vacuum亦變成左解作「用吸塵機」o既動詞。merriam-webster解釋:
transitive verb
1 : to use a vacuum device (as a vacuum cleaner) on <vacuum the living room>
2 : to draw or take in by or as if by suction
intransitive verb : to operate a vacuum device

1. vacuum cleaning 係 gerund,唔係 verb。
2. Have + verb 只會係 present perfect tense,句式 have/has + past participle。呢句只可以係 Have you vacuumed the floor? 或 Have you cleaned the floor with the vacuum cleaner?
