中学生英语学习常见错误一览表3
e
each
[误] every of them has his habit.
[正] each of them has his habit.
[析] each可以作形容词,但也可作代词,而every只能作形容词。
[误] the manager comes to america almost each month.
[正] the manager comes to america almost every month.
[析] each与every都作形容词讲时,都有"每个"之意,但有不同。each多指个体,而every则多指整体。如:we want every student to succeed. each不同来表达总体概念,所以不能与almost, nearly, likely等词连用。
[误] we each has a book.
[正] we each have a book.
[析] each 作同位语时,其数应与其同位的名词相同,而each作主语时则应取其单数形式。
each other one another
each other与one another这两个词组的区别在很多语法书中强调each other是两者之间,而one another是多者之间,其实不然,如:all students must care for each other, must love and help each other. 事实上这两个词组是同义的,如果要讲有什么区别的话,当我们非常笼统地谈,而不特指什么人时,多用one another.
early
[误] could you come here more early?
[正] could you come here earlier?
[析] 单音节和少数双音节副词的比较级和最高级要用er和est来作其结尾,如fast, soon, early, hard, long, near等。
earth
[误] what on the earth do you mean?
[正] what on earth do you mean?
[析] on earth这一词组在句中为的是加强语气,其意为"究竟"、"到底"。而作为"地球"讲时则要加定冠词,如:how far is the earth from the moon. 而作为"泥土"讲时则为不可数名词,如:he filled the pot with earth and wanted to plant some flowers.
easy
[误] you can easy imagine my surprise.
[正] you can easily imagine my surprise.
[析] easy只在有限的词组中被用作副词,如take it easy (不要紧张),go easy, stand easy等。 例如:easy come, easy go. (钱来的容易花的也快. )easier said than done. (说的容易做着难。)
east
[误] japan is on the east of china.
[正] japan is to the east of china.
[析] 在讲述地理位置时,有3个介词常用,它们是in, on和to, 其中in表示处于所表达的范围之内,如:shanghai is in the east of china. on则表示双方接壤,如:north korea is on the northeast of china. 而表示互不相接的两部分时则用to, 如:Chinese Taiwan is to the east of fujian.
either
[误] -i don't like opera.
-i don't like too.
[正] -i don't like opera.
-i don't like either.
[析] 在否定句中用either表示"也",而在肯定句中用too表示"也"。
[误] either you or i are right.
[正] either you or i am right.
[析] 这在语法书中被称作就近原则,即哪个主语离谓语动词近,则应采用与哪个主语相一致的谓语动词,相同用法的还有neither…nor…,not only…but also…,以及or在连接两个主语时。如:you or he is to go home. the others will have to stay in the classroom.共12页,当前第1页123456789101112

empty
[误] are these seats empty?
[正] are these seats taken?
[析] empty是指空洞的没有任何物体,如:the house was empty, 其意思是没有任何家具或屋内无人。但座位是否有人坐应用take.

[误] my sister studied english language very well.
[正] my sister studied the english language very well.
[正] my sister studied english very well.

enjoy
[误] i enjoy to play football.
[正] i enjoy playing football.
[析] enjoy后要接动名词,而不接不定式。
[误] did you enjoy at the english evening?
[正] did you enjoy yourself at the english evening?

[正] do you have enough money?
[正] do you have enough of the money?
[误] the coffee isn't enough.
[正] there isn't enough coffee.
[析] enough可以作be动词的表语,但其主语应是代词,如:that's enough. it was enough. 如果是名词时应换用上面的句型。
entrance
[误] the entrance of the cinema is on your right.
[正] the entrance to the cinema is on your right.
[析] 在表示通往某处时entrance后面多用to作介词。这样的用法还有key to the door, answer to the question等。
evening
[误] i walked home in a cold evening.
[正] i walked home on a cold evening.
[析] in the evening这一词组如加上另外的修饰词则其介词应换为on.
everyone
[误] everyone of you goes to class.
[正] every one of you goes to class.
[析] everyone其后不能接of结构。在否定句中如果要讲"每一个人都没有注意到它",就译作:nobody noticed it. 要注意every one of us is not right. 应译为"我们不都对。"而none of us are right. 才应译为"我们全错了。"
exam
[误] we take part in an exam.
[正] we take an exam.
[析] take part in为"参加"某种活动,运动,而在学科中选择某一学科学习并进行考试应用take.
except
[误] the room is clean except two desks.
[正] the room is clean except for two desks.
[误] i come here every day except for sunday.
[正] i come here every day except sunday.
[析] 在同一类物体中排除某一部分用except, 在不同类物体中排除某一物体时用except for。而except that其后接从句,如:she is a good girl except that she is careless sometimes. 而besides则是"包括在内",如"我学习英语同时还学法语。"应译为:i study english besides french.共12页,当前第2页123456789101112

[误] i'm sorry i have to go. tom's family is waiting for me.
[正] i'm sorry i have to go. tom's family are waiting for me.
[析] family是集合名词,把它当作整体看它是单数,如看作家庭中的每个成员则为复数。如:your family are very kind to me. my family is very large.
far
[误] my school is ten miles far from here.
[正] my school is ten miles away from here.
[析] far一般不与实际距离连用。
[误] "did you walk far?"
"yes,i walked far."
[正] "did you walk far?"
"yes, i walked a long way."
[析] 一般肯定句中不用far单独作状语,而用a long way.far组成的常用词组有:as far as. ①远至,一直到。如:he walked as far as the station. ②就……而言。如:as far as he was concerned these books were very good. ③只要。如:i can help you as far as i can. so for到目前为止。例:he is very well so far.
farther further
far有两个比较级,即farther和further,其意思略有不同:farther主要用于表示距离的远近,如:milan is farther away than rome. 而further则是指"进一步的",如:will we need any further discussion on this matter.
fast
[误] a fast train runs fastly.
[正] a fast train runs fast.
[析] fast其形容词与副词形式相同。
fast soon
fast指行动本身的速度快,如:the foreigner speaks too fast. 而soon则多指两个动作之间间隔短,时间到来的迅速,如:she will come soon.
feel
[误] i feel badly about my mistakes.

中学生英语学习常见错误一览表3

fill
[误] she filled orange into my glass.
[正] she filled my glass with orange.
[析] 表示要用某种物品装满某容器时要用fill with词组,如:the boy ran back home filled with joy.
fill full
fill是动词,但有及物与不及物两种用法,当表示"充满"之意时是不及物动词,应用fill with,如:the little girl's eyes filled with tears. 而当表示"使……装满某物"时,是及物动词,如:he filled his pocket with books. 而be filled with应看作系表结构,如:the boy's mother was filled with anger. full是形容词,要用be full of这一词组,如:the boy was full of joy.
find
[误] he has finded his lost bike.
[正] he has found his lost bike.
[析] find是不规则动词,其过去式和过去分词均是found。但found一词又意为"建立",它是规则动词,其过去式及过去分词均为founded.
[误] it is very difficult to look for a suitable job.
[正] it is very difficult to find a suitable job.
[析] look for为"寻找",而find是找到。寻找工作并不难,难的应是找到合适的工作。
find find out
find out意为"找出、算出、发现",如:i have found out how to do it. 而find的主要侧重点在找到某物,如:i find my book under the desk.
finish
[误] i finished to read that book last night.
[正] i finished reading that book last night.
[析] 英文中有些动词其后只能用动名词作宾语而不能用不定式作宾语,这样的动词在中考范围内有两个,即finish和enjoy。
fire
[误] there's no smoke without a fire.
[正] there's no smoke without fire.
[析] 此句应译为中文"无风不起浪"。fire作为物质名词"火"讲时为不可数名词,而作为"炉火"、"火灾"讲则是可数名词,如:there was a fire in the next street last month. 如要讲"着火了"要用be on fire, 如:the factory was
on fire.
[误] the man fired to us.
[正] the man fired at us.
[析] fire (on) at均指"向某目标开火",at用于较小目标,而on用于较大目标。
first
[误] is this your firstly visit to beijing?
[正] is this your first visit to beijing?
[析] 除了在强调第一、第二、第三等场合中有时还可见firstly一词外,这个词已不多见,而均被first取代。first还有"首先"、"首次"、"第一次"之意。

[误] i received a letter which ran as follow.共12页,当前第4页123456789101112
中学生英语学习常见错误一览表3
[正] i received a letter which ran as follows.
[析] as follows是惯用法,其意为"如下",不论在任何场合均要用follows.
[误] as follows are his arguments.
[正] the following are his arguments.
[析] as follows主要用于句尾,而the following则用于句首。
food
[误] too much sweet food, such as cakes, chocolates,pastry…may increase your weight.
[正] too many foods, such as cakes, chocolates,pastry…may increase your weight.
[析] food泛指食物时为不可数名词,如:there is no food for supper. 而指一种种食物时则用作可数名词。

[误] we went to college on feet.
[正] we went to college on foot.

for
[误] i wanted to go to the pub for having a drink.

[误] i bought a book to you.
[正] i bought a book for you.
[误] he is a friend for us.
[正] he is a friend to us.
[析] 在英文中"为"一词在泛指时用to, 在特指时要用for.
[误] this food is good to us.
[正] this food is good for us.
[析] 词组be good (bad) for 表示"对……有好(坏)处"。
[误] for i was feeling quite hungry, i wanted to have lunch.
[正] i wanted to have lunch, for i was feeling quite hungry.
[析] for作为"因为"讲时一般不要置于句首,而且口气也比because弱的多。
forget
[误] i left my key.
[正] i left my key at home.
[正] i forgot my key.
[析] leave是"丢下"之意,所以一定要接地点状语,而forget是"忘记",所以不用接地点状语。
[误] i will not forget the rules.
[正] i will never forget the rules.
[误] please don't forget posting my letter on your way home.
[正] please don't forget to post my letter on your way home.
[析] 要注意forget to do something为"忘了去作某事",而forget doing something则应译为"对已经作过的事记不起来了"。如:he forget returning the book to the library. 应译为"他忘记已把书还给图书馆这件事了。"同样用法的词还有remember和regret.共12页,当前第5页123456789101112
中学生英语学习常见错误一览表3
free
[误] you can speak free in front of my parents.
[正] you can speak freely in front of my parents.

[析] french是"法语"、"法国的",而france才是"法国"。
friend
[误] he nodded to me friendly.
[正] he nodded to me in a friendly fashion.
[析] friendly是形容词,不是副词。在英语中应避免讲he is a friend of my mother. 又比如:i go to school with my friend. 从语法上讲是对的但不是习惯上英语的说法。而应讲he is a friend of my mother's. i go to school with a friend. be friends with 则是"交朋友"之意,例如:i hope you will be friends with me. 而不应讲i hope you will be my friend. 交朋友还有一惯用法是make friends.
from
[误] where do you come from?i come from the library.
[正] where do you come from?i come from england.
[正] where did you come from?i came from the library.
[析] where do you come from?应意为"你是从什么国家(地方)来的?"(即意为"你是哪的人?")而where did you come from? 才是"你刚刚从哪来?"
front
[误] there are three tall trees in the front of my house.
[正] there are three tall trees in front of my house.
[析] in front of是某物体外部的前面,而in the front of是在某物体内部的前面。如:the bus driver is seated in the front of the bus.

中学生英语学习常见错误一览表3

[正] the old teacher has two pairs of big glasses.
[析] glass作为"眼镜"讲,应用复数形式,在英语中手套gloves 裤子pants,剪刀scissors均用复数形式。glass作"玻璃杯"讲时则可用单数形式或复数形式,如:i want two glasses of milk. 而作为物质名词"玻璃"讲则要用作不可数名词,如:the boy broke two panes of glass.
go
[误] -mary, could you come to my home now?-yes, i'm going.
[正] -mary, could you come to my home now?
-yes, i'm coming.
[析] go是指离开说话人所在地,而come指的是朝向说话人的方向:如:come here!can i come and help you?但在口语中也有一些例外,如表示要参加到某人或者某件活动时常用come, 如:we are going to have a party tonight. would you like to come with us?
gone been

[误] you have better hurry.
[正] you had better hurry.
[析] had better只用过去时had,不要误用成现在时have。
[误] you hadn't better worry.

[析] had better后面加不带to的不定式,其否定式是"had better not+动词原形"。
half
[误] i had driven about half mile.
[正] i had driven about half a mile.
[析] "半小时"有两种讲法half an hour, a half hour. 而"一个半小时"应讲an hour and a half或one and a half hours."半天"应讲half a day,"半镑"应讲half a pound.但要尽量避免使用half a year,而应用six months;不用half a month, 而用two weeks或fifteen days.
[误] half us could go to the park.
[正] half of us could go to the park.

中学生英语学习常见错误一览表3
[误] one and half apples are left on the table.
[正] one and half apples is left on the table.
[析] 一个半one and half后面的名词要用复数,而句中的谓语动词却要用单数。
[误] half of the work are done.
[正] half of the work is done.
[误] half of the six apples is red.
[正] half of the six apples are red.
[析] "half of+名词"这一结构后面的谓语动词应与of后面的名词相一致,如为不可数名词或可数名词单数,要用单数谓语动词;而复数名词后面要加与复数相对应的谓语动词。
hand
[误] he shook hand with his teacher.
[正] he shook hands with his teacher.
[析] 与某人握手要用shake hands. 与hand有关的词组中有很多要用复数形式,如:change hands (转手、易手),in the hands of (由……控制),join hands (与人合作)。
happen
[误] what was happened to you last month?
[正] what happened to you last month?
[误] an accident was happened in this street last night.
[正] an accident happened in this street last night.
[析] 在英语中不及物动词没有被动态,作为"发生"讲的happen,take place和break out都不具有被动态。happen to常用来表达一件偶然发生的事,如:if you happen to meet my sister please ask her to call me.
hard
[误] i have to study hardly.
[正] i have to study hard.
[析] hard是形容词,如:a hard work,但它同时也是副词。hardly是hard的又一副词形式,但词意截然不同,意为"几乎不"。
[误] i had my leg broken last term, so i couldn't hardly study at all.
[正] i had my leg broken last term so i hardly studied at all.
[析] hardly意为"否定",所以不要再加否定词语了,如果hardly用于句首则应采用倒装语序,如:hardly had he arrived when she started complaining.
have
[误] i had my boy do his homework from morning till noon.
[正] i had my boy doing his homework from morning till noon.
[析] 用have somebody do something还是doing something要取决句子的意思和句中的时间状语。
[误] i have my bike to repair.
[正] i have my bike repaired.
[析] have something done这一句型是让某事被别人去作,请看下面两句意义的不同:i have repaired my bike. (我自己已修好了自行车。)而i have my bike repaired.(我把车推出去让别人修理了。)
[误] could you give me some money if you have.
[正] could you give me some money if you have any.
[析] "如果你有的话"一句译为英文应加上any一词,如:i want some books if there is any.
headache
[误] i've got headache.
[正] i've got a headache.
[析] headache是一个规则的可数名词,所以可以讲:my mother often gets headaches. 但是"牙痛"toothache,"肚子痛"stomacheache等却都可以用作不可数名词,如:i've got toothache. 但也可用作可数名词。共12页,当前第8页123456789101112
中学生英语学习常见错误一览表3
hear
[误] he was heard sing in the next room.
[正] he was heard to sing in the next room.
[析] hear somebody do something这一句式用于被动语态时要把原来省略的不定式to还原回来。而在hear somebody doing something这一句式中则不会出现上述问题。如,主动态:i heard her singing in the next room. 变为被动态时为:she was heard singing in the next room. 这种用法还适用于see, look, observe, watch, notice, listen to等。
hear listen to
hear一词为听见了什么,或听到什么,强调其结果;而listen to则强调有意要听,听的倾向。如:i want to listen to you, but i hear nothing.
但词组hear about (of)则为"听说过"之意,如:i heard about this. (我听说过此事。)而hear from则为"收到某人信件"之意:i often hear from my girl friend.
help
[误] please help my homework.
[正] please help me do my homework.
[正] please help me with my homework.
[析] help其句型是help somebody do (to do) something. 意为"帮某人作某事",但在较古老的语法中不带to的不定式表示句子的主语参加这个动作,如:he help his mother cook the meal. 即"他和母亲一起作饭。"而he help me to do my homework. 则是"他指导我做作业"。但在现代英语中这个区别则往往被取消了。所以带to与不带to的不定式在句中意思相同,并无区别。
[误] when i read the play i can't help to think of my childhood.
[正] when i read the play i can't help thinking of my childhood.
[析] can't help doing something是"身不由己,情不自禁做某事"。
[误] help yourself with some cakes.
[正] help yourself to some cakes.
[析] 中文中讲"你自己拿蛋糕吃",英文中要用help somebody to something.
here
[误] here the bus comes!
[正] here comes the bus!
[析] 副词在句首时一般要用倒装语序,即谓语动词的位置前移。但是,若主语如是人称代词,则还是要用正常语序,如:here we are!
high
[误] he is very high.
[正] he is very tall.
[析] 英语中的两个"高"high和tall,其中tall指人指物都是可以的,但high则只指物体的高,所以可以讲this building is the highest building in the city.但tall一般不用来指山脉的高低。
hit
[误] the mother got angry and hit the boy.
[正] the mother got angry and beat the boy.
[析] hit指打到某物之上,一般指一次性打击,如he hit his head against the wall.(他把头撞到了墙上。)而beat则指多次性的打击。
home
[误] i'm tired. it's time i went to home.
[正] i'm tired. it's time i went home.
[析] home此处用作副词,所以不应加to,又如:i arrived home at eleven thirty yesterday evening.而at home除了"在家"之意外,还有像"在家里一样"之意。如make yourself at home.(不要拘束就像在家一样。)
home house family
home是指与亲人一起居住的地方,可以讲a letter from home,所以有人解释home包括住处和家人。而house的侧重点则在建筑物,如many new houses were built this year. family一词,作为整体讲其谓语动词用单数,如:her family is a happy one.而作为家庭成员讲时要用复数谓语动词,如:my family are all like swimming.共12页,当前第9页123456789101112

homgwork

hope
[误] i hope you to be a good student.
[正] i hope you will be a good student.

[正] i hope you won't go to the park tomorrow.
[析] hope 和think在否定句中的用法不同,如"我认为你错了"。应译为:i don't think you are right.即否定在前。而hope则不能这样用。又如在答语中"我不这样认为"应译为i don't think so.或i hope not.
[误] i hope your help.
[正] i hope for your help.
[析] hope for为"期望某事发生",虽然hope是及物动词,但表达期望某事情发生要用"hope for+名词"这一结构。

[正] there are two hundred people here.
[误] there are hundred of people here.

[误] i want to know if it will rain tomorrow he will come or not.
[正] i want to know if it rains tomorrow he will come or not.
[析] 这里的if从句是整个宾语从句的条件状语,所以,还应用一般时表示将来。
ill

in into
作为副词应用in,而不能用into,如: come in, please. 又若在句中不涉及到动词的位置,只是表达空间的位置时用in,如: the teacher in the office is my mother. 但在go, run, come, walk, dive等词后则要用into. 如: she dives into the river.

interest
[误] he has a great interest for physics.
[正] he has a great interest in physics.
[误] he has some interest in many companies.
[正] he has some interests in many companies.
[析] interest作为"兴趣"讲可用作不可数名词,但作为"利息"、"股份"讲时为可数名词。
[误] this is an interested book.
[正] this is an interesting book.
[析] 修饰物时应用interesting, 如,an interesting film,而讲某人对某事感兴趣时要用过去分词interested,如: i'm interested in this play. 但"他是一个十分有趣的人"。应译为he is an interesting man. 所以interesting是"令人感兴趣"之意,而interested则表示某人对某事物感兴趣,多用"be interested in something"这一句型。共12页,当前第11页123456789101112
