小竅門(mén)

The most important thing you need to remember is that altar is a noun and alter is usually a verb, and occasionally an adjective. The two words are never interchangeable.

你需要記住的最重要的事情是，altar是一個(gè)名詞，alter是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，偶爾也是一個(gè)形容詞。這兩個(gè)詞永遠(yuǎn)不能互換。

You can remember that alter is a verb since both alter and verb are spelled with the letter E.

你可以記住alter是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，因?yàn)閍lter和verb拼寫(xiě)里都有字母E。
