易错句子His explanation doesn't gibe to the facts.

正确表达His explanation doesn't gibe with the facts.

表示“与……相符、一致”时，gibe 后面固定搭配介词 with，不能用 to；汉语“与事实相符”的“与”容易让学习者误选 to，但英语此处只能说 gibe with sth。

易错句子The boys were gibeing at his accent.

正确表达The boys were gibing at his accent.

gibe 以不发音的字母 e 结尾，加 -ing 时要先去掉 e，写成 gibing；保留 e 写成 gibeing 是拼写错误，类似 make→making。

易错句子They gibbed at his mistake.

正确表达They gibed at his mistake.

gibe 以不发音的 e 结尾，加 -ed 时直接加 -d 即可，写成 gibed；不能再双写 b 变成 gibbed，因为双写规则只适用于重读闭音节结尾且末尾只有一个辅音字母的动词（如 stop→stopped）。
