常见误用提醒

使用 toilsome:The work is toilsomely. → The work is toilsome. (错误:误用副词形式 'toilsomely' 作为形容词。正确:应使用形容词 'toilsome' 直接描述名词。)

使用 toilsome:It was a toilsome for me to finish the homework. → It was toilsome for me to finish the homework. (错误:在 'toilsome' 前误加冠词 'a',但 'toilsome' 作为形容词修饰不定式短语时,通常不带冠词。正确:直接使用 'toilsome' 作为表语。)

使用 arduous:The work is arduously. → The work is arduous. (arduous 是形容词,直接作表语,不需要加 -ly 变成副词。正确用法是 The work is arduous,表示工作很费力。)
