I think that doesn't make any sense, and it just wastes people energy.

我認為這沒有任何意義，只會浪費人們的精力。

I cannot say people energy.

我不能說人們精力充沛。

I have to use a possession and say people's, people's energy.

我必須用 "佔有 "這個詞，說 "人們的"、"人們的能量"。

So it's correct to say it just wastes people's energy.

是以，說它浪費人們的精力是正確的。

I cannot say people energy.

我不能說人們精力充沛。

I have to use a possessive and say people's.

我必須使用所有格，說 people's。

Or I can say it's a waste of energy, and I can use waste as a noun.

或者我可以說這是浪費能源，我可以用浪費作為名詞。

Fighting is not worth it.

戰鬥是不值得的。

It's a waste of energy.

這是浪費能源。

So I can say it wastes people's energy, or I can say it's a waste of energy.

This is more common.

I cannot say I'll prove you that I can become advanced in 30 days.

So can you ever say I'll prove you?

Sure.

當然。

You can say I'll prove you wrong.

你可以說我會證明你錯了。

If I just have an adjective wrong, in this case I can use prove with no to.

如果我只是弄錯了一個形容詞，在這種情況下，我可以用 prove 而不用 to。

I'll prove you wrong.

我會證明你錯了。

This is correct.

這是正確的。

But if I use prove with a clause after that, I have to use the preposition to.

但是，如果我在後面的分句中使用 prove，就必須使用介詞 to。

I'll prove to you that you're wrong.

我會證明給你看，你錯了。

In this case, we have to use to.

在這種情況下，我們必須使用到。

So again, I can say I'll prove you wrong.

所以，我可以再說一次，我會證明你是錯的。

When I have that plus a clause, I need the preposition to.

當我有 that 加上一個分句時，我需要介詞 to。

I'll prove to you that you're wrong.

我會證明給你看，你錯了。
