Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes write *"intactly"* as an adverb (e.g., *"The house was intactly"*). In English, **intact** is only an adjective; say *"The house was intact"* or *"The house remained intact"*. Some also confuse **intact** with **entire** or **whole**; **intact** focuses specifically on not being damaged.
Từ đồng nghĩa
undamaged (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal but used in the same physical contexts.)
|
unharmed (Often used more for people or living things than for objects, but similarly means not hurt or damaged.)
|
whole (More general and informal; focuses on something not missing any parts, not specifically on damage.)
Từ trái nghĩa
damaged (Direct opposite; describes something that has been harmed or partly destroyed.)
|
broken (Opposite in many physical contexts, especially for objects that are in pieces or do not work.)
|
ruined (Stronger opposite, suggesting something is so damaged it has lost its value or use.)

Mẫu sử dụng:
leave [something] intact
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use **intact** for people in this sense (e.g., *"He is intact"*) when they mean his character or position is unchanged. It is more natural to say *"His image is intact"* or *"His position is intact"*, not *"He is intact"*. Also, some write *"in tact"* as two words; the correct form is the single adjective **intact**.
Từ đồng nghĩa
unchanged (Very close in meaning; more general and slightly simpler, without the strong idea of being fully preserved.)
|
unaffected (Emphasizes not being influenced or impacted, especially by events or changes around it.)
|
preserved (Focuses on something that has been actively protected so it stays as it was.)
Từ trái nghĩa
altered (Opposite in the sense of having been changed from its original form.)
|
compromised (Opposite in the sense that quality, safety, or principles are weakened or reduced.)
|
diminished (Opposite in that something has been reduced in strength, size, or importance.)
