用法筆記

Unlike the present-tense form 'laugh', 'laughed' is used only for completed actions in the past. The form stays the same for all subjects: I laughed, you laughed, she laughed, we laughed, they laughed. In everyday speech and writing, 'laughed' is often paired with the prepositions 'at' (the thing that caused the laughter) or 'about' (the general situation).

常見錯誤

❌I laught at the joke.
✅I laughed at the joke.
💡'laught' is not a valid English word; the correct past tense of 'laugh' is 'laughed'.
❌He laughed to my joke.
✅He laughed at my joke.
💡'laugh' requires the preposition 'at', not 'to', when referring to the thing that caused amusement.
