用法筆記

This adjective is most frequently used after the linking verbs 'go', 'remain', and 'pass' (e.g., 'The issue went unnoticed'). It can also follow verbs of motion ('slip unnoticed', 'enter unnoticed') to describe actions done without attracting attention. Attributive use before a noun (e.g., 'an unnoticed mistake') is less common in everyday speech.

💡The verb 'go' is the most natural linking verb with 'unnoticed' in standard English; 'was unnoticed' sounds unnatural.
