點解burst一字第三生單數不用加s

2008-05-28 7:38 pm
我查過很多字典, burst 一字用在第三生單數仍然係 burst, 不用加s, 同其他不同, 點解? 有冇其他字係咁?

✔ 最佳答案
我不知你查的是甚麼字典,但burst用在第三身單數絕對是:bursts
Collins COUBILD Advanced Learner's English Dictonary,在burst條下,就有這樣解釋:
When a door or lid bursts open, it opens very suddenly and violently because someone pushes it or there is great pressure behind it.
其實,或許你在字典看到的例子,若詳細察看,你或會發覺它們是過去式,因為burst的過去式,仍然是:burst,所以導致你會覺得它是現在式。
希望幫到你!

burst是一殺那的動作,故很少用現在式,你的幾個例句,都是過去式
He burst into the room
He burst the door open
the river burst its banks
(明顯都是已發生的事)

包括the balloon burst.

hathatsu is right. Bursts should add an "s" when it is applying to a third person singular.
