Mondo Education Updated on 2024-01-31

Bring and wear are two common verbs, they both have similar meanings and usages, but they also have some differences that we need to pay attention to distinguish and master. In this article, we will introduce the difference and usage of wearing and wearing from the following aspects, as well as some common mistakes and precautions.

Both straps and wears can represent the act of placing something on your body or carrying it with you, but they have different emphasis. The focus of the belt is to carry something from one place to another, emphasizing the process and purpose of movement, and the object of the belt can be a person or thing, or an abstract thing. The focus of wearing is to fix something to a certain part of the body, emphasizing the state and effect, and the object of wearing can only be an object, and it is an item that can be worn, such as hats, glasses, watches, etc. For example:

himBandA book goes to the library, indicating that he will take a book from home or somewhere elseBandWhen I got to the library, the emphasis was on the action and purpose of the belt.

himWearA pair of glasses, indicating that he will have a pair of glassesWearOn one's own eyes, the emphasis is on the state and effect of wearing.

There are also some differences in the usage of the strap and wear, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

The structure of the band: Band can be collocated with various objects, can be nouns, pronouns, verb infinitives, gerunds, clauses, etc., can also be used in conjunction with prepositional phrases or adverbs, indicating the object, way, direction, place, etc. For example:

himBandSome fruit came to visit me. (noun).

himBandAnd she went. (pronoun).

himBandwent to the movies. (infinitive).

himBandSinging and dancing. (gerund).

himBandThe question of who he was left. (clause).

himBandI went out with an umbrella. (prepositional phrase).

himBandGone my wallet. (adverb).

The structure of the wear: Dai can only be used with a noun or pronoun to indicate the object of wearing, and can also be used in conjunction with a prepositional phrase to indicate the part of wearing, but not with an adverb to indicate the direction or place of wearing. For example:

himWearA hat. (noun).

himWearwith it. (pronoun).

himWearThe ring on the hand is beautiful. (prepositional phrase).

himWearEntered the classroom. (Error).

The tense of the band: Band can be used in various tenses, indicating that the action of the band has occurred in the past, present, or future, and can also indicate the continuation or completion of the action of the band. For example:

He was yesterdayBandA bouquet of flowers for her. (simple past tense).

He's nowBandI'm reading a magazine. (present continuous tense).

He's tomorrowBandSome gifts to go to the party. (Simple Future Tense).

himBandIt took two years to complete the project. (Past Perfect Tense).

The tense of wearing: Dai is generally only used in the simple present tense or the simple past tense to indicate that the state of wearing exists in the present or past, and is not used in the continuous or future tense to indicate that the action of wearing is in progress or will occur in the future, nor is it used in the perfect tense to indicate the completion of the action of wearing. For example:

himWearWearing a scarf. (Simple Present Tense).

He was yesterdayWearA coat. (simple past tense).

He's onWearA pair of gloves. (Error).
