用法筆記

As an uncountable noun, skiing is never used with 'a' or 'an' (❌ 'a skiing'). It is also a gerund — the -ing form of the verb 'ski' — so it can follow verbs like 'go' and 'take up' without an article.

常見錯誤

❌I like ski.
✅I like skiing.
💡'ski' is the verb; the name of the activity is 'skiing'.
❌I went to a skiing.
✅I went skiing.
💡'skiing' is uncountable and does not take 'a'.
