易错句子He is intended.
正确表达He is my intended.
intended 作名词表示“未婚夫/未婚妻”时是可数名词,单数前必须有限定词(my、your、the 等)。汉语“他是我的未婚夫”用“的”表示所属,没有冠词,所以学习者常把限定词漏掉,只剩 be + intended。

易错句子He introduced me to both his intended.
正确表达He introduced me to both his intendeds.
both 指“两个”,后面必须接复数可数名词,而 intended 的复数形式是 intendeds。单数 intended 只能指一个人,不能与 both 搭配。

易错句子My intended are coming to dinner tonight.
正确表达My intended is coming to dinner tonight.
这里 intended 是单数可数名词,作主语时谓语要用单数 is。汉语名词和动词都不随单复数变化,学习者容易受此影响而误用复数动词 are。
fiancé 是日常通用的“未婚夫”,中性、各种语境都能用;intended 作名词指未婚夫或未婚妻时属于旧式、戏谑或文学化的说法,多见于英式英语的幽默语境,日常口语一般不说。
intent 是名词,表示“意图、目的”,常见搭配如 with intent to do sth;intended 作名词只指人,即未婚夫或未婚妻,两者词形相近但词义和用法都不同。
intend 是动词,表示“打算做某事”,通常接 to do;intended 在这里是名词,指未婚夫或未婚妻,前面常带物主代词(如 her intended),不能把 intend 直接放在物主代词后当名词用。
