易错句子She flowered the fish before frying it.
正确表达She floured the fish before frying it.
这里要表达的是“给鱼裹上面粉”，须用动词 flour（裹面粉）。flour 与 flower（开花；花）读音相同，但意思和拼写都不同；受同音影响，学习者常把 flour 误写成 flower，结果句子变成了“鱼开花了”。
grammar · medium
易错句子She floured on the chicken.
正确表达She floured the chicken.
flour 作动词是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，即 flour + 某物（给某物裹面粉），如 flour the chicken。受汉语“在……上撒面粉”的介词结构影响，学习者容易在动词后多加 on；英语中这个介词没有位置，必须去掉。
grammar · medium
易错句子The chicken needs to flour before frying.
正确表达The chicken needs to be floured before frying.
flour 是及物动词，主语 the chicken 是受事，须用被动式 be floured。学习者把 flour 当成了不及物动词，误以为“鸡”自己会撒面粉；正确说法要补出被动结构 be + 过去分词 floured。
