C. 中文學習者容易犯的錯誤
錯誤 : "Who fart just now? It very smelly."
正確 : "Who farted just now? It's very smelly."
解釋 : 英文中需要使用過去式"farted"，且需要使用"it's"而非"it"。-
錯誤 : "Who put out the gas? The smell is so bad."
正確 : "Who passed gas? The smell is really bad."
解釋 : 英文中不用"put out the gas"來表達放屁，正確說法有"pass gas"或其他表達。 -
錯誤 : "Who blow the air? It too stink."
正確 : "Who let that out? It's too stinky."
解釋 : 英文不會用"blow the air"表達放屁，且需要正確的語法結構"it's"以及形容詞形式"stinky"。
