For example 同 such as 嘅分別？一次過學識寫作舉例子嘅正確寫法

係 DSE 寫作中，有可能需要就一個觀點提出一些例子，黎 support 你嘅 argument。大家
最常用嘅應該就係 for example 同 such as 啦。但係唔少人會混淆佢哋嘅用法，幾時要擺
係句子開頭？幾時要加逗號？我哋今日就一次過教晒大家，英文寫作中舉例嘅正確寫
法，下次唔好用錯啦！
 
1. For example
通常用於舉一個例子，可以替換 for instance。可以放在句首、句中或句末。
 
For example, maybe you have been filming something.
例如，也許你一直在拍攝一些東西。

須在前面加上逗號。
