Common mistakes

错误地将名词“pursual”用作动词。英语中表示“追求”应用动词“pursue”，而“pursual”是名词，不能直接作谓语。
The pursual of happiness is a basic right.The pursuit of happiness is a basic right.
用“pursual”替代了更常见的名词“pursuit”。在固定短语“the pursuit of”中，应用“pursuit”，而“pursual”虽有时可互换，但在此语境中不自然。
They are in pursual of the suspect.They are in pursuit of the suspect.
介词短语“in pursuit of”是固定搭配，表示“追捕”。使用“in pursual of”不符合英语习惯，应改为“in pursuit of”。
