Veelgemaakte fouten

• ✗无论喜欢，都应该尊重。
  ✓无论你是否喜欢，都应该尊重艺术家的努力。

  无论 introduces a condition that must be complete. A bare 无论+verb without a subject or complement leaves the condition incomplete.

• ✗凡是艺术家都是有天赋的。
  ✓凡是真正的艺术家都经过了长期的训练。

  凡是…都 makes universal claims — be specific. Saying all artists are talented is an overgeneralization that weakens the argument.

• ✗我不得不不喜欢这件作品。
  ✓我不得不承认这件作品令我不安。

  不得不 means have no choice but to — it should be followed by a verb expressing the forced action, not a double negation.

• ✗无论他来，都没问题。
  ✓无论他来不来，都没问题。

  无论 requires an alternative or condition. 无论+verb alone (without 不/否/何 etc.) sounds incomplete.

• ✗凡是展览都吸引了很多人。
  ✓凡是高质量的展览都能吸引大量观众。

  凡是 generalizes a category — it needs a qualifying adjective or phrase to be meaningful.
