作为一名高中英语教师,我在批改学生作文的时候发现很多学生会在写作中犯一些共同的错误。我们一起来看看,是哪10种错误,并纠正吧!
错误1:advice和suggestion分不清
[误]I’m writing to ask you for some
[正]I’m writing to ask you for some
[正]I’m writing to ask you for some
分析:advice是不可数名词,没有复数;suggestion是可数名词,有复数。
错误2:because的误用
[误]I feel very upset these days. I couldn’t get along well with my classmates.
[正]I feel very upset these days I couldn’t get along well with my classmates.
分析:because是连词,引导原因状语从句,要和主句一起使用,一般不与主句分离,各自单独成句。
错误3:such as的误用
[误]There are many things you can do to improve your English. to your teacher carefully, English novels and and watch English movies.
[正]There are many things you can do to improve your English, to your teacher carefully, English novels and and watching English movies.
分析:本句中有两类错误。第一,such as作为表示列举的短语,不能单独使用形成一个句子;第二,such as 后跟动词(短语)时,要使用doing形式。
错误4:时态错误
[误]I like my mom very much. She hard every day to support the whole family.
[正]I like my mom very much. She hard every day to support the whole family.
分析:英语写作中出现的时态错误,最多的是一般现在时第三人称单数。本句中的主语she是第三人称,又是一般现在时,所以谓语动词work要用第三人称单数形式。
[误]Ben his head and found the man bleeding.
[正]Benhis head and found the man bleeding.
分析:有的学生很容易犯在行为动词前加be的错误,要记住,不是被动语态或进行时态,行为动词前不要用be。本句是主动语态,又是一般过去时,直接用行为动词bend的过去式bent就行了,不要再加be,因此,删除was。
错误5:定语从句错误
[误]I’m Li Hua, who from Zhuhai.
[正]I’m Li Hua, who from Zhuhai.
分析:定语从句本身有主语和谓语等,句中coming是现在分词,是非谓语动词,将其改为谓语动词comes,一般现在时第三人称单数。
[误]I’m Li Hua,
[正]I’m Li Hua, who is the chairman of the Students Union.
分析:错句中的定语从句没有谓语动词,根据结构和意义,“我是李华,是学生会主席”可知,who后应添加系动词is。
[误]Mr Wang,
[正]Mr Wang made a schedule for this trip.
分析:錯句中,除定语从句外,只剩下主语Mr Wang,主句缺谓语,不能构成句子。因此,删除who,直接用Mr Wang作主语,构成一个简单句。当然,也可根据写作需要,增加谓语也是可以的,如:Mr Wang, who made a schedule for this trip, was our headmaster. 王先生是我们的校长,他为这次旅行做了安排。……
