- I miss living in the country. (我懷念鄉村生活) (正)
- I miss to live in the country. (誤)
解說：Miss 可當動詞和名詞用，當動詞時有「未擊中；未達到；未出現；未出席；未趕上；未聽見；未領會；錯過；避開；想念；懷念」等常用的意思，但不管是那個意思，其後須接名詞或動名詞，不可接不定詞。再舉數例供大家參考：
- John doesn’t want to miss seeing that movie on TV tonight. (約翰不想錯過今晚電視播放的那部電影) (正)
John doesn’t want to miss to see that movie on TV tonight. (誤) - They narrowly missed being killed in the terror attack. (他們差一點在恐怖攻擊中喪命) (正)
They narrowly missed to be killed in the terror attack. (誤) - Guy missed coming to my birthday party on Sunday. (星期天蓋伊沒來參加我的生日派對) (正)
