常見錯誤

❌The machine is very trouble' (using 'trouble' alone as an adjective).
✅The machine is trouble-free.
💡'trouble' is a noun, not an adjective; the compound adjective 'trouble-free' is needed.
❌This is a trouble-free solution than the old one' (using comparative form).
✅This is a more trouble-free solution than the old one.
💡'trouble-free' takes 'more/most' for comparison, not '-er/-est'.
