易错句子She asked a very pertinence question.
正确表达She asked a very pertinent question.
pertinence 是名词，不能作前置定语修饰 question；修饰名词要用形容词 pertinent。汉语'贴切的问题'中'贴切'没有词形变化，容易把名词直接当形容词用。

易错句子This evidence has little pertinence with the case.
正确表达This evidence has little pertinence to the case.
表示'与……有关'时，pertinence 后面接介词 to，不接 with；汉语说'和／与……有关'，容易迁移出 with。

易错句子I don't think his remarks are pertinence here.
正确表达I don't think his remarks are pertinent here.
系动词 are 后面需要用形容词作表语，名词 pertinence 不能单独作表语；换成形容词 pertinent 才符合英语的句子结构。
relevance 是最常用、最中性的近义名词，泛指“与话题有关”；pertinence 更强调“切题、正中要害”，语域更正式，多用于书面或学术评价。
pertinent 是形容词，作定语或表语（be pertinent to）；而 pertinence 是名词，需说 the pertinence of...，不能用形容词顶替名词的位置。
impertinence 与 pertinence 只差前缀 im-，读音相近，但意思是“无礼、冒失”，与“贴切、相关”完全相反，切勿混用。
