常见错误

• ✗Would you mind to turn down the music?
  ✓Would you mind turning down the music?

  Would you mind 后面用动名词（-ing），不加 to。

• ✗Could you to please be quiet?
  ✓Could you please be quiet?

  could you 后面跟动词原形，不加 to。

• ✗I wonder if you can be quiet
  ✓I was wondering if you could be quiet

  I was wondering if... could 比一般现在时客气得多。

• ✗Sorry for to bother you
  ✓Sorry to bother you

  sorry 后面用 to + 动词原形，没有 for to 这种说法。

• ✗My neighbour is very noise
  ✓My neighbour is very noisy

  noisy 是形容词，noise 是名词，这里要用形容词。

• ✗Could you to stop the music?
  ✓Could you stop the music?

  could 后面不加 to。
