常見錯誤

❌She bought a sparkled dress for the party.
✅She bought a sequined dress for the party.
💡'sparkled' is a verb form, not an adjective; use 'sequined' for clothing with sewn-on shiny discs.
❌The costume was full of sequence.
✅The costume was covered in sequins.
💡'sequence' means a series of events; 'sequin' is the small shiny disc.
