寫作是對學生運用英語的綜合能力的考查,是最能體現學生英語水平的一種檢測方式。學生在寫作的過程當中經常暴露一些弱點、犯一些錯誤。現對學生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現自己的問題并及時改正!
寫作中,學生們常把握不好名詞的數、所有格以及一些集合名詞的用法。
1.He gave me a very good advice yesterday.
點撥:句中的a要去掉,因為advice是不可數名詞。一些漢語概念為可數的詞在英語中卻是不可數的,表示數量時在其前加a piece of,類似的詞有news,bread,work,paper,chalk,furniture,information等。
2.That girl loves reading book.
點撥:可數名詞單數不能孤零零地放在句子里,或前面加冠詞,或將其變為復數。此處最好變為books。
3.He went into a book's shop and bought a dictionary.
點撥: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.
點撥:一些集合名詞如看成一個整體,則用單數的謂語動詞,如My family is a happy one;如強調集合中每個個體的個人行為,則用復數的謂語動詞。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.
點撥:中學階段以“o”結尾的名詞中有四個詞變復數時要加es,它們是tomato,potato,Negro,hero;其余的都加s變為復數。
6.This has nothing to do with their believes.(這和他們的信仰沒關系。)
點撥:以f,fe結尾的詞變為復數時一般去f,fe加ves,如knife—knives,thief—thieves;而roof和belief直接加s變為復數。所以應把believes改為beliefs。
7.The boss wants to hire an useful person.
點撥: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.
點撥:plane為可數名詞單數,不能單獨放在句中,應在其前加冠詞或把它變為復數,而本句后有a machine,因此只能在其前面加a,變為A plane。
9.He played a piano at the party yesterday.
點撥:把a改為the,因為“play+樂器名詞樂器”結構中,樂器名詞前用定冠詞。
10.The machine was invented in 1920s.
點撥:在in后加the,因為表示年代用in加the再加幾十的復數,如在八十年代in the 80s。
11.Xiao Hong went to school by the bus every day.
點撥:去掉the,因為表示交通方式用by直接加交通工具。
使用代詞時請注意其單、復數,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.
點撥:定語從句的先行詞是those speakers,為復數,因此從句中的指示代詞應為復數,應把his改為their。
13.Whom do you think has left the lights on?
點撥: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,把它們去掉后,疑問詞在句中作主語用主格,作賓語用賓格。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.點撥:John和I在句中都作賓語,應把I改為me。15.These books are mine;those in the bag are her.
點撥:Her是形容詞性物主代詞,后面應該加名詞books,或把her改為hers。
16.There are fourteen hundreds students in our school.
點撥:Hundred/thousand/million/score/dozen等詞前有具體數字時后不加s,前面沒有具體數字時在其后加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.點撥:表倍數關系的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.
點撥: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,所以把five-hundred-words改為five-hundred-word。
19.Two third of the students in our school are from America.
點撥:英語表達中分數的分子用基數詞,分母用序數詞,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.
點撥: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.
點撥: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.
點撥: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.
點撥: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.
點撥: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.
點撥: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.
點撥: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.
點撥: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。
28.I would rather take a train than went by bus.
點撥:本句為 “would rather do...than do...”句型,因此把went改為go。
29.Is there interesting anything at the meeting?
點撥:修飾anything,something,everything,nothing的形容詞都要放在它們的后面。
30.I never have seen such a person before.
點撥: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。
31.The book is worth to be read.
點撥:be worth doing意為值得被做。因此改為The book is worth reading。
32.It is sure that he will succeed.
點撥: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。
33.He is regarded as one of the best alive writers at present.
點撥:alive為表語形容詞,偶爾也作后置定語。因此把alive改為living,或把alive放在writers后面。34.I don't know that he has finished the work yet.點撥:yet用于否定和疑問句,already用于肯定句。把yet改為already。
35.He said nearly nothing at the meeting.
點撥: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。
36.He usually goes to school by his father's car.
點撥: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。
37.Please wait me at the school gate.
點撥:wait為不及物動詞,需加介詞for后才能再跟名詞或代詞作賓語。
38.He has been married with Betty for more than twenty years.
點撥:marry不跟 with連用,應把with改為to。
39.I finished the work on time under the help of him.
點撥:“在……的幫助下”用with而不用under。
40.He into the classroom alone.
點撥:英語中的有些介詞翻譯成中文時常具有“動詞”的含義,但不能作謂語。應在“into”前加上went。
41.He can be at home now because the light in his room is still on.
點撥:表特別有把握的肯定判斷時用must,表特別有把握的否定判斷時用can,can表判斷時只用在否定句中。因此把can改為must。
42.He need come here before the meeting begins.
點撥:作情態動詞時need用在否定,疑問和條件句中,不能用于肯定句中,而作實意動詞時則可以。所以應改為:He needs to come here before the meeting begins。
43.He used to get up very early in the morning,and now he is still doing so.
點撥:used to用來表示過去常常做某事而現在不了,所以應把后半句改為:but now he is not doing so。
44.I needn't come yesterday because all the work had been finished.
點撥:由于情態動詞本身不體現時態,所以在談論過去的事情時在情態動詞后加 have done,因此在needn't后加have。
45.You hadn't better stay up too late because you have to get up early tomorrow.
點撥:had better的否定在 better后面加not。
英語的常用時態有十六種,一般根據上下文和時間狀語來確定時態。

46.I will tell her about that when she will come tomorrow.
點撥:主句為將來時,其時間、條件、方式和讓步狀語從句中用一般現在時。因此將will come改為comes。
47.The meeting is about to begin in ten minutes.
點撥:be about to一般不與具體的時間狀語連用。因此把in ten minutes去掉。
48.The boy opened his eyes for a moment,looking at the captain and then died.
點撥:此處look并非伴隨狀語,而是三個并列的謂語動詞,因此把looking改為looked。
49.I have bought this bike for ten years and I am still using it now.
當句中有for加一段時間作狀語時,謂語動詞必須為延續性動詞,此處把bought改為kept。
50.I haven't learnt any English before I came here.
點撥:我來這兒已經是過去的動作,在此之前發生的事應該用過去完成時。因此應把haven't改為hadn't。
