威威老師的文法特快車:介系詞 (Prepositions)

課程導航

Previous: 03 時式入門 | Next: 05 連接詞


哈囉各位同學!我是威威老師。

來,回答兩個問題:

  • 「6 月」用 in 還是 on?
  • 桌上」用 on 還是 in?
  • 「我他生氣」用 with、to、還是 at?

如果你猶豫了一秒——這篇就是為你寫的。

英文介系詞只有大約 100 個常用字,但用錯它們就立刻露出「英文不是母語」的破綻——比文法更顯眼、比拼字更容易出包。介系詞是英文裡最「靠感覺」的部分,但威威老師會教你「怎麼用邏輯記住它的感覺」。

介系詞不只是規則,是英文人「看世界的方式」。學會它,你看英文不再是逐字翻譯,而是用英文母語者的角度感受空間和時間。

課前快問 (Pre-Quiz)

先憑直覺答(複習 03 時式入門):

  1. She ______ (go) to school every day.
  2. They ______ (play) basketball when I arrived. (過去進行)
  3. I ______ already ______ (finish) my homework before dinner. (過去完成)

一、介系詞是什麼?

介系詞 (Pre-position) = 「放在名詞前面」的字。

它的工作是當「橋樑」——把名詞跟句子的其他部分接起來,說明時間/空間/關係

💡 威威核心比喻: 名詞是城市裡的建築物,動詞和形容詞想跟建築物產生關係,就需要一座橋——介系詞就是那座橋。

  • I work at a bank. ← at 把 work 和 bank 串起來
  • She is good at math. ← at 把 good 和 math 串起來
  • The book on the table is mine. ← on 把 book 和 table 串起來

1-1 黃金鐵律:介系詞後面接什麼?

⚠️ 介系詞後面只能接名詞性質的東西——名詞、代名詞、或 V-ing(動名詞)。

後面接的東西例子對否
名詞in the room
代名詞with me
V-ing(動名詞)good at swimming
名詞片語on the big red desk
原形動詞good at swim
完整子句in she is happy

🚨 超重要:介系詞 + V-ing——這是學測必考! ❌ I’m interested in read books. → ✅ I’m interested in reading books. 詳見第六節「介系詞 + V-ing」。


二、時間介系詞:at / on / in — 「點 → 面 → 空間」

🎯 核心口訣:「at 點、on 面、in 空間」 ——時間範圍從最小到最大

2-1 at — 精確時間「點」

用法例子中文
鐘點at 3 o’clock三點
正午at noon中午
午夜at midnight午夜
夜晚(一般用法)at night在晚上
特定時刻at that moment那個時刻
節日(指期間)at Christmas / at Easter聖誕節期間
年齡at the age of 1818 歲時

2-2 on — 特定日期 / 星期「面」

用法例子中文
星期on Monday星期一
日期on May 1st5 月 1 日
特定某天on my birthday我生日那天
節日(當天)on Christmas Day聖誕節當天
特定某天的時段on Monday morning星期一早上
週末(美式)on the weekend在週末

2-3 in — 較長時間「空間」

用法例子中文
月份in January一月
年份in 20242024 年
季節in summer夏天
時段in the morning / afternoon / evening早上/下午/晚上
世紀in the 21st century21 世紀
多久之後in three days三天後

2-4 終極 at / on / in 對照表

範圍介系詞例子
atat 6 PM, at noon, at midnight
onon Monday, on May 1st, on my birthday
空間inin January, in 2024, in the morning

💎 特殊組合陷阱:

  • in the morning = 一般早上(時段)→ in
  • on Monday morning = 特定某天的早上 → on
  • at night ≠ in the night(at 是慣用,in the morning/afternoon/evening 才用 in)

🎯 時間介系詞即時練習(5 題)

1. Fill in: I was born ______ June 15th, 2008.

2. Choose: The meeting starts ______ 10 AM ______ Monday. (A) at / on (B) on / at (C) in / on (D) at / in

3. 改錯:She always studies on the morning.

4. Fill in: The library opens ______ 9 AM and closes ______ 9 PM.

5. Choose: He finished his project ______ three hours.(在三小時內) (A) on (B) at (C) in (D) for

三、地方介系詞:at / on / in — 「點 → 面 → 空間」

地方介系詞跟時間介系詞邏輯一樣——都是「點 → 面 → 空間」!

3-1 at — 地點「一個點」

例子中文
at school在學校
at the station在車站
at home在家
at the airport在機場
at the bus stop在公車站
at the door在門口
at the corner在轉角

💡 at 用於把地點當「地圖上的一個點」——不強調內部空間。

3-2 on — 表面 / 一條線

例子中文
on the desk在桌上
on the wall在牆上
on the floor在地板上
on the 2nd floor在二樓
on the bus / train在公車/火車上
on the river在河邊/河上
on Renai Road在仁愛路上

💡 on 用於「接觸某個表面」——可以是水平表面(桌面)、垂直表面(牆面)、或一條線(馬路)。

3-3 in — 內部空間 / 大區域

例子中文
in the room在房間裡
in the box在盒子裡
in Taipei在台北
in Taiwan在台灣
in the ocean在海裡
in the car在車裡(注意:on the bus 但 in the car!)
in the picture在照片裡

💡 in 用於「進入某個容器或大區域」——可以是物理上的內部(盒子裡)或抽象的範圍(國家、世界)。

3-4 公車 vs. 汽車——為什麼一個用 on 一個用 in?

交通工具介系詞原因
bus, train, plane, shipon大型交通工具,可以「上去」(on board)
car, taxi, helicopterin小型交通工具,「鑽進去」
bicycle, motorcycle, horseon騎乘的「跨上」

例句:

  • I’m on the bus.(我在公車上)
  • She’s in her car.(她在她的車裡)
  • They rode on horseback.(他們騎馬)

💎 記法:「能站著走」用 on(公車、火車),「要彎腰鑽」用 in(汽車、計程車)。

3-5 經典陷阱:at the hospital vs. in the hospital

美式意思
at the hospital(探病、辦事)去醫院辦事,不一定是病人
in the hospital(住院)自己是病人,住院中

對比:

  • My mom is at the hospital visiting Grandma.(媽媽醫院(探視奶奶))
  • My grandma is in the hospital.(奶奶住院中)

🎯 地方介系詞即時練習(5 題)

1. Fill in: She lives ______ Taipei, ______ Renai Road, ______ the 5th floor.

2. Choose: The cat is sleeping ______ the sofa. (A) in (B) at (C) on (D) to

3. Choose: “I met him ______ the airport ______ Tokyo.” (A) in / at (B) at / in (C) on / in (D) at / on

4. Translate: 「我把書放在桌子下面。」(Use under)

5. Find the error and fix: “My uncle works on a hospital in the doctor.”

四、方向/移動介系詞 — 想像你在玩電動

這些介系詞描述「從一處到另一處」的方向:

介系詞圖示例句
toA → BI go to school.
into外 → 內She walked into the room.
out of內 → 外He went out of the house.
throughA 穿越 B(內部)We walked through the park.
acrossA → B(橫過表面)He swam across the river.
along沿著一條線They walked along the river.
up↑ 向上He ran up the stairs.
down↓ 向下She went down the stairs.
toward(s)→ 朝某方向The dog ran toward me.
around繞著They sat around the table.
past經過I walked past the café.

4-1 經典對比:through vs. across

throughacross
本質內部穿過表面橫過
比喻走在山洞裡面走過斑馬線
例句walk through the forest(穿越森林)walk across the street(過馬路)
例句drive through the tunnel(穿過隧道)swim across the river(游過河)

4-2 經典對比:to vs. toward(s)

totoward(s)
本質強調到達目的地強調方向(不一定到)
例句I went to Tokyo.(去了東京)The car drove toward the city.(朝城市方向開去)

💡 to = 完成式(到了);toward = 進行式(朝那邊去)。

🎯 方向介系詞即時練習(5 題)

1. Choose: The kids ran ______ the playground when the bell rang. (A) toward (B) through (C) at (D) on

2. Choose: We drove ______ the tunnel and arrived ______ Hualien. (A) across / in (B) through / in (C) along / at (D) into / on

3. Choose: The river flows ______ the city, dividing it in half. (A) along (B) through (C) into (D) across

4. 改錯:She walked across the forest in the dark.

5. Translate: 「孩子們繞著聖誕樹跑。」(Use around)

5-3 between vs. among — 必考!

betweenamong

後面結構between A and Bamong a group
例句The choice is between A and B.She stood among the crowd.

🚨 陷阱: between 後面要用 and! ✅ between you and me ❌ between you with me

5-4 必背固定搭配(「形容詞 + 介系詞」/「動詞 + 介系詞」)

形容詞 + 介系詞

搭配中文例句
be afraid of害怕She is afraid of spiders.
be proud of驕傲I am proud of you.

5. Translate: 「我們依靠太陽能。」(Use depend on)

六、介系詞 + V-ing — 學測超大魔王!

🚨 **黃金鐵律:介系詞後面如果接動作,一定要用 V-ing

因為介系詞後面只能接「名詞性質」的東西,而 V-ing(動名詞)就是把動詞「名詞化」。

6-1 對錯比較

錯誤 ❌正確 ✅介系詞
I am good at swim.I am good at swimming.at + V-ing
She is interested in read.She is interested in reading.in + V-ing
Thank you for help me.Thank you for helping me.for + V-ing
He ran instead of walk.He ran instead of walking.of + V-ing
I look forward to see you.I look forward to seeing you.to (介系詞) + V-ing

6-2 高頻「介系詞 + V-ing」搭配

搭配中文例句
be good at + V-ing擅長She is good at dancing.
be interested in + V-ing對…有興趣He is interested in learning Japanese.
thank sb for + V-ing感謝某人做…Thank you for coming.
look forward to + V-ing期待I look forward to seeing you.
instead of + V-ing而不是Let’s walk instead of driving.
because of + V-ing/N因為He stayed home because of the rain.
be afraid of + V-ing害怕做…She is afraid of flying.
be proud of + V-ing為…驕傲I am proud of being a teacher.
after / before + V-ing在…之後/之前After finishing dinner, I watched TV.
by + V-ing藉由Learn English by reading more.
stop / prevent / keep sb from + V-ing阻止…Rain prevented us from going out.
spend time + V-ing花時間做I spent 2 hours studying.
have difficulty/trouble + V-ing有困難做…I have trouble sleeping.

6-3 ⚠️ 超經典陷阱:「to」的雙重身份!

「to」有時是介系詞,有時是不定詞 (to + V)——千萬不要搞錯!

to 是介系詞(後接 V-ing)to 是不定詞(後接原形 V)
look forward to + V-ingwant to + V
be used to + V-ing(習慣於)need to + V
object to + V-ingdecide to + V
pay attention to + V-inghope to + V
in addition to + V-ingplan to + V
stick to + V-ingagree to + V
be devoted to + V-ingpromise to + V
be opposed to + V-ingrefuse to + V

🎯 判斷法:

  • 如果 to 的意思是「朝向某事物」→ 介系詞 → 接 V-ing
  • 如果 to 的意思是「為了要做某事」→ 不定詞 → 接原形 V

例句:

  • I look forward to hearing from you.(期待收到你的消息) → to 是介系詞(look forward to 整體 = 「期待…」)→ 接 V-ing。
  • I want to hear from you.(我想要聽到你) → to 是不定詞(want + to + V)→ 接原形 V。

🎯 介系詞 + V-ing 即時練習(5 題)

1. Choose: I look forward to ______ from you soon. (A) hear (B) hearing (C) heard (D) hears

2. Fill in: Thank you for ______ (help) me with my homework.

3. 改錯:Instead of to walk, let’s take the MRT.

4. Choose: She is afraid of ______ alone at night. (A) walk (B) to walk (C) walking (D) walked

5. Find the error: “I am used to study late at night.”

七、考試陷阱大整理

學測介系詞考題的 7 大陷阱

陷阱 1:時間介系詞 at/on/in 混淆

「at 點 / on 面 / in 空間」記熟。

陷阱 2:地方介系詞 at/on/in 混淆

同樣的邏輯——點/面/空間。

陷阱 3:next / this / last + 時間,不加介系詞

  • ❌ on next Monday
  • ❌ in last summer
  • next Monday / last summer / this week

陷阱 4:since vs. for

  • since + 時間點:since Monday, since 2020
  • for + 一段時間:for 3 hours, for 2 weeks

陷阱 5:介系詞 + V-ing

介系詞後面接動作 → V-ing!

陷阱 6:look forward to + V-ing 不是 + V

這個 to 是介系詞!

陷阱 7:固定搭配(記就是)

be famous for, be afraid of, be good at, depend on——沒有道理可講,背!

學習科學小知識:上下文記憶 (Contextual Encoding)

認知科學家發現,記憶會「綁定」當時的情境——這叫「上下文記憶」。如果你只在書桌前背介系詞,考試時換個環境(教室、考場),記憶提取會變慢。

解決方法:換情境練習

  • 在家:書面練習。
  • 在公車上:大聲念固定搭配。
  • 看到生活中的東西:用英文造句(“The book is on the table.”)。

多情境的練習會讓記憶脫離特定環境,變成「隨時可調用」的資源。介系詞特別需要這種訓練——因為它們到處出現,所以記憶也要無處不在。
