英語寫作最易犯的錯誤
英語寫作最易犯的錯誤
有很多同學會在寫作的過程當中經(jīng)常暴露一些弱點、犯一些錯誤,小編今天整理了同學們對英語作文中的常見錯誤按語法類別進行歸納,并舉以實例,希望同學們能夠由此發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的問題并及時改正
名詞
寫作中,學生們常把握不好名詞的數(shù)、所有格以及一些集合名詞的用法。
1. He gave me a very good advice yesterday.
句中的a要去掉,因為advice是不可數(shù)名詞。一些漢語概念為可數(shù)的詞在英語中卻是不可數(shù)的,表示數(shù)量時在其前加a piece of,類似的詞有:news, bread, work, paper, chalk, furniture, information等等。
2. That girl loves reading book.
可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)不能孤零零地放在句子里,或前面加冠詞,或?qū)⑵渥優(yōu)閺蛿?shù)。此處最好變?yōu)閎ooks.
3. He went into a book’s shop and bought a dictionary.
一般表示有生命的東西的名詞的所有格用’s,如my mother’s car, 而此處適宜用名詞修飾名詞,改為a book shop.
4. My family is watching TV.
一些集合名詞如看成一個整體,則用單數(shù)的謂語動詞,如My family is a happy one; 如強調(diào)集合中每個個體的個人行為,則用復數(shù)的謂語動詞。此處看電視是個體行為,應把is改為are。類似的詞有:team, class, audience等。
5. I bought some potatos and tomatos at the supermarket.
中學階段以“o”結(jié)尾的名詞中有四個詞變復數(shù)時要加es,它們是tomato, potato, Negro, hero; 其余的都加s變?yōu)閺蛿?shù)。
6.This has nothing to do with their believes.(這和他們的信仰沒關系。)
以f, fe 結(jié)尾的詞變?yōu)閺蛿?shù)時一般去f, fe 加ves,如knife—knives, thief—thieves; 而roof 和belief直接加s變?yōu)閺蛿?shù)。所以應把believes改為beliefs.
冠詞
7. The boss wants to hire an useful person.
用a還是an,取決于后面單詞的第一個音標,如為元音用an,為輔音用a。useful的第一個音是輔音所以應把an改為a。類似的,我們說a European country.
8.Plane is a machine that can fly.
Plane為可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),不能單獨放在句中,應在其前加冠詞或把它變?yōu)閺蛿?shù),而本句后有a machine, 因此只能在其前面加a,變?yōu)锳 plane。
9.He played a piano at the party yesterday.
把a 改為the ,因為樂器前用定冠詞。
10.The machine was invented in 1920s.
在in后加the,因為表示年代用in加the再加幾十的復數(shù),如在八十年代in the 80s。
11.Xiao Hong went to school by the bus every day.
去掉the,因為表示交通方式用by直接加交通工具。
代詞
使用代詞時請注意其單、復數(shù),主、賓格以及形容詞性物主代詞和名詞性物主代詞的用法。
12.He is one of those speakers who make his ideas perfectly clear.
定語從句的先行詞是those speakers,為復數(shù),因此從句中的指示代詞應為復數(shù),應把his改為their。
13. Whom do you think has left the lights on?
放在疑問句特殊疑問詞后的do you think / believe / guess / imagine / suppose等都不參與句子成分,把它們?nèi)サ艉螅蓡栐~在句中做主語用主格,做賓語用賓格。本句中去掉do you think后缺的是主語,應把Whom改為Who。
14.The boss pretended not to see John and I.
John和I在句中都做的賓語,應把I 改為me。
15.These books are mine; those in the bag are her.
Her是形容詞性物主代詞,后面應該加名詞books,或把her 改為hers。
數(shù)詞
16.There are fourteen hundreds students in our school.
Hundred / thousand / million / score/ dozen等詞前有具體數(shù)字時后不加s,前面沒有具體數(shù)字時在其后加s 和of,表示大約幾百幾千的概念。如 two hundred students(兩百個學生),hundreds of students(成百上千個學生)。例句中應把hundreds 改為hundred。
17.Their school is twice as larger as our school.
表倍數(shù)關系的as---as中間只能用形容詞或副詞的原級。因此把larger改為large.
18.Today’s homework is a five-hundred-words composition.
幾個單詞由連字符連接而組成的復合形容詞中的名詞只能用單數(shù),所以把five-hundred-words改為five-hundred-word.
19.Two third of the students in our school are from America.
英語表達中分數(shù)的分子用基數(shù)詞,分母用序數(shù)詞,分子大于一時分母后要加s,所以就把third 改為thirds.
形容詞和副詞
形容詞和副詞容易被誤用,形容詞和副詞的比較級和最高級也是應注意的重點。
20.The patient appeared nervously when he talked to the doctor.
appear在此是個系動詞,其后應接形容詞作表語。所以把nervously改為nervous.
21.The artist worked hardly to finish his drawings on time.
此句需要一個副詞來修飾,hardly是副詞,但意為“幾乎不”,hard 也可以是副詞,表努力,因此把 hardly 改為hard.
22.This shirt is more cheaper than that one.
More只構成比較級,而不能修飾比較級。因此把more去掉。
23.He is the most successful of the two businessmen.
兩者相比較時,比較級前用定冠詞,三者或三者以上才用most,因此把most改為more.
24.He works less harder than he used to.
表不如… 時用less加上形容詞和副詞的原級,因此把harder改為hard.
25.The book is fairly more interesting than that one.
fairly只能修飾形容詞和副詞的原級,可以修飾比較級的副詞或短語有:much, even, still, far, a lot, a little, a bit, any, no, by far, rather等,因此把fairly改為rather.
26.This is as an interesting a story as the one in the magazine.
as … as中間的詞序是as加上形容詞加上a(n)加上名詞再加上as,因此應改為as interesting a story as the one.
27.The weather here is nicer than Xizang.
同樣的事物才能相比較,weather和Xizang不具有可比性,因此應改為The weather here is nicer than that of Xizang.
29.I would rather take a train than went by bus.
這個詞組為would rather do … than do …,因此把went改為go.
30.Is there interesting anything at the meeting?
修飾anything, something, every-thing, nothing的形容詞都要放在它們的后面。
31.I never have seen such a person before.
像never之類的副詞在句中應放在be動詞、助動詞之后,實意動詞之前。因為應改為I have never seen such a person before.
32.The book is worth to be read.
be worth doing 意為值得被做。因此改為The book is worth reading.
33.It is sure that he will succeed.
sure 的主語只能為人,而certain的主語可為人和物。因此把sure改為certain.
34.He is regarded as one of the best alive writers at present.
alive 為表語形容詞,偶爾也做后置定語。因此把alive改為living,或把alive 放在writers后面。
35.I don’t know that he has finished the work yet.
yet 用于否定和疑問句,already用于肯定句。把yet 改為already.
36.He said nearly nothing at the meeting.
nearly 不與否定詞用在同一個句子中,而almost可以。因此把nearly 改為almost.
介詞
37.He usually goes to school by his father’s car.
by加上名詞表示一種交通方式,中間什么都不加,如by car, by bus, by plane等;如果名詞前有其他的詞修飾,則應除by以外的其他介詞,此處把by改為in.
38.Please wait me at the school gate.
wait為不及物動詞,需加介詞for后才能再跟名詞或代詞做賓語。
39.He has been married with Betty for more than twenty years.
marry不跟 with連用,應把with改為to。
40.I finished the work on time under the help of him.
“在…的幫助下”用with而不用under。
