常見錯誤

❌I need to do enrollment.
✅I need to complete my enrollment.
💡In this sense, enrollment is a countable/uncountable noun that pairs with verbs like 'complete,' 'submit,' or 'process,' not 'do.'
❌My enrollment is in English class.
✅I enrolled in an English class.
💡Use the verb form when referring to the specific action of joining a class; the noun 'enrollment' describes the process or official status, not the class itself.

常見錯誤

❌The enrollment are increasing every year.
✅The enrollment is increasing every year.
💡When enrollment means 'the number enrolled,' it is treated as a singular uncountable noun and takes a singular verb.
❌There are many enrollments this year.
✅Enrollment is high this year.
💡The plural form 'enrollments' is rare; use the singular form for the overall number of people registered.
