常见错误：
Learners sometimes think this verb only means physically shaping a material. In this sense, it is abstract: you mold ideas, character, behavior, or opinions, not clay or plastic. Also, avoid saying "mold someone to" when you mean a new form; use "mold someone into" (e.g., "mold them into better leaders").
含义
Shape someone’s character or ideas
搭配

常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse this with the fungus sense. A mold that is a container does not grow or live; you put materials into it. Also, in cooking, some learners say "cake pan" for all situations; a pan is usually open and flat, while a mold can have many shapes and may be deeper or closed.
含义

常见错误：
Learners may confuse this sense with the abstract sense of molding a person or idea. In this physical sense, the object is a material (clay, plastic, dough), not a person. Also, avoid saying "mold to" when you mean a result shape; use "mold into" (e.g., "mold the clay into a bowl").
含义
Shape a soft material

常见错误：
Learners often misunderstand this sense as the physical container. Here, "mold" is abstract: it means a "type" or "model" that people or things are similar to. It often appears in fixed phrases like "in the same mold" or "in the mold of," which should be learned as chunks.
含义
Typical pattern or type

Many learners know the adjective "moldy" and the phrase "go moldy" but do not realize that "mold" can also be used as a verb in American English ("The bread molded"). In British English, people more often say "went mouldy" instead of using "mould" as a verb.
