易错句子Her cruel words ghosted to me for days.
正确表达Her cruel words ghosted me for days.
ghost 作“持续困扰、缠扰”讲时是及物动词,被困扰的人或事物直接作宾语,中间不加介词。汉语说“对我(的)”,学习者容易照搬成 to me;改成 ghosted me 才符合动词的搭配。

易错句子He ghost me every time he sees me.
正确表达He ghosts me every time he sees me.
一般现在时里,主语是第三人称单数(he)时动词要加 -s,ghost 的第三人称单数是 ghosts。汉语动词没有数的变化,学习者常整句照搬原形,漏掉 -s。

易错句子The memories ghost him for years after the accident.
正确表达The memories ghosted him for years after the accident.
句中 for years 表示事故发生后的过去一段持续状态,要用过去式 ghosted,不能用原形。汉语靠时间词和上下文表示过去,动词本身不变形;把 ghost 改为 ghosted 后,时态与 for years 表达的过去时段一致。
