Common mistakes
He whamed the door with his fist.He whammed the door with his fist.
wham 是单音节、以“辅音-元音-辅音”结尾的动词,加 -ed 时须双写末尾的 m,写成 whammed;漏写一个 m 的 whamed 不符合拼写规则。
The car whammed to the wall.The car whammed into the wall.
表达“撞上”某物时,wham 后应接 into(或 against)表示碰撞到某处;介词 to 只表示方向,不能体现撞上的结果。

wham 的名词义是“重击声”,不是“重击”这个动作;要表达“我被人重重打了一下”,应使用动词 wham 的过去分词 whammed。
