常見錯誤

❌I reread the instructions for the first time.
✅I read the instructions for the first time.
💡'reread' means to read at least a second time, so 'for the first time' contradicts it.
❌She reread back the letter.
✅She reread the letter.
💡'reread' already contains the idea of reading again; adding 'back' is redundant.
