易错句子He plighted to marry her.
正确表达He plighted himself to marry her.
plight 表示“承诺（自己）”时是及物动词，宾语必须是反身代词 oneself，后面再接 to do 或 to sb。汉语“承诺做某事”可以不带宾语，所以学习者容易漏掉 himself，但英语中这个义项不能省略 oneself。

易错句子He plighted his troth with her.
正确表达He plighted his troth to her.
立婚誓的固定搭配是 plight one's troth to sb，用介词 to 引出誓言所指向的人；with 只表示“和某人一起做某事”，无法标出“向她立誓”的对象，因此要改成 to。

易错句子They plought their troth in the church.
正确表达They plighted their troth in the church.
plight 是规则动词，过去式和过去分词均为 plighted。不能因为 light→lit、fight→fought 这类以 -ight 结尾的动词多有不规则变化，就错误类推成 plought。
