Common mistakes
Yesterday I light the candle.Yesterday I lighted the candle.
一般过去时谓语动词要用过去式；light 的过去式是 lighted（或 lit），不能保留动词原形 light。
The candle was light by him.The candle was lighted by him.
被动语态需要过去分词。light 的过去分词是 lighted（或 lit），不能用动词原形 light 或形容词 light 代替。
Give me a light candle, please.Give me a lighted candle, please.
此处要表达“点燃的蜡烛”，需要用过去分词作定语的形容词 lighted（意为“点燃的、燃烧的”）；light 单独作形容词时意为“轻的/浅色的”，会造成歧义。
