易错句子She sang very tiptop at the concert.
正确表达She sang tiptop at the concert.
tiptop 作副词已表示“极好地、一流地”,程度本身已到顶点,不能再受程度副词 very 修饰;加 very 会造成程度重复(类似 very excellently),去掉后句子才符合原义。

易错句子He answered all the questions tiptoply.
正确表达He answered all the questions tiptop.
-ly 是形容词变副词的后缀,而 tiptop 本身已是副词,不能再加 -ly 派生;在状语位置直接使用 tiptop 即可。
两者都能作副词修饰动词;excellently 是由形容词 excellent 加 -ly 构成的直接副词,tiptop 是独立的副词词项,表示“一流地、极好地”。需要普通地说明“做得好”时用 excellently;用 tiptop 时不要把它放到名词前当形容词。
top-notch 通常是形容词,放在名词前表示“一流的”;tiptop 在本义项中是副词,修饰动词。说“一流的表演”用 top-notch,说“做得极好”用 tiptop。
