常見錯誤

❌The nurse unbandaged the bandage from his arm.
✅The nurse unbandaged his arm.
💡The verb already means 'remove a bandage'; adding 'the bandage' as the object is redundant.
❌She unbandaged the scissors and cut the cloth.
✅She cut the bandage off with scissors.
💡'Unbandage' is only about removing a bandage, not about cutting other things.
