易错句子He ball the paper and put it in his pocket.
正确表达He balled the paper and put it in his pocket.
英语动词要用屈折形式标记过去时，叙述已发生的动作必须说 balled，即使句中没有 yesterday 之类的提示词也不能用原形；汉语动词不随时态变形，所以容易漏掉 -ed。规则：规则动词的过去式加 -ed，ball → balled（原形、过去式、过去分词写作 ball / balled / balled）。

易错句子The damp snow balled his boots as he walked.
正确表达The damp snow balled on his boots as he walked.
表示“雪、泥等附着在表面聚成小球”的义项是不及物的，结构为 ball + on + 表面，表面不能作宾语。若写成 balled his boots，宾语就成了靴子本身，意思变成“把靴子揉成一个球”，与想表达的“雪在靴子上结成球”完全不同，所以必须补上介词 on。

易错句子He bowled up the paper and threw it away.
正确表达He balled up the paper and threw it away.
ball 读 /bɔːl/，bowl 读 /boʊl/，是两个不同的词，汉语学习者常因元音相近而混用。bowl 作动词只有“打保龄球、投球”等义，不能表示“把……揉成一团”；要表达“揉成球”必须用 ball，此处即 ball up + 宾语。
roll 强调滚动、滚压的动作过程，结果可以是球，也可以是长条或薄片；ball 只强调最终弄成球形这一结果。说 roll the dough into a ball 时动作是“滚”，单说 ball the dough 则指直接把它团成球。两者在“做成球”的结果上可能重合，但 roll 通常要带 into a ball 才能表达成球，不能单独表示球形结果。
wad 指用力把纸、布等压紧揉成小团，强调压得紧实，团通常较小；ball up 泛指弄成球状，大小和松紧不限。美式口语里揉纸时说 wad up 和 ball up 常可互换，但 wad 更突出“压实”，ball up 更突出“成圆”，因此描述紧实小团时用 wad 更贴切。
knead 指反复按压、折叠面团，使其均匀有韧性，只讲手法，不涉及最后形状；ball 只讲把东西团成球形的结果。中文“把面团揉成球”里，“揉”对应 knead，“成球”才是 ball 或 roll into a ball；只想说揉面时不能用 ball the dough。
