常见错误句子
错误 1:动词的常见错误
我建议你休息几天。
(X)I suggest you to take several days off.
(O)I suggest you take several days off.
**suggest 沒有 suggest to do something 的用法。suggest 之后通常都不能接不定式(infinitive - to).
请注意功能特殊的动词,例如 suggest。在这里并没有 suggest to do something 的用法。通常我们会
在 suggest 的后面接 that 这个词,之后在加上助动词 should,然后再在后面接原形动词:
我們考慮買一個新平台。
(X)We consider to buy a new platform.
(O)We consider buying a new platform.
**Consider 是另一种特殊动词,只要是 Consider 之后的动词,一律都是 V4 verb (Present participle
V-ing)。
错误 2:介词
我会订阅这新杂志。
(X)I will subscribe the new magazine.
(O)I will subscribe to the new magazine.
我想提醒你开会。
(X)I’d like to remind you the meeting.
(O)I’d like to remind you of the meeting.
更多需要加介词的动词词汇:
Inform …… of 通知
Remind ……of 提醒
我们银行的总部在巴黎。
(X)Our bank has its headquarter in Paris.
(O)Our bank has its headquarters in Paris.
**headquarters 的 s 其实不是复数,而是它的名词形态。这个词汇原本的字就是有-s 的,并不是因
为是复数所以才加上-s
谢谢你。
(X)Many thank.
(O)Many thanks.
错误 4:reply 的常见错误用法
请回复我
(X)Please reply me.
(O)Please reply (by Friday)
可否回复我的邮件?
(X)Could you reply my email?
(O)Could you reply to my email?
请回复我的问题
(X)Please reply my question.
(O)Please reply to my question.
**如果要接回答的对象,就要加一个介词(to)。
错误 5:Wish 的用法
Wish 祝福
(X)Wish you have a great holiday.
Eg:
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We wish you every success in the future.
错误 6:Require 之后的动词形态
Require V-ing
(X)This job requires to work with details and facts.
(O)This job requires working with details and facts.
错误 7:is/are 怎么用
(X)The list of items are on the desk.
(O)The list of items is on the desk.
**在以上句子中所要说的物品是那一个物品的清单(list),虽然那一张清单上有列出了很多物品
(items),但在这里只有一个清单,所以是 singular,不能用 are,只能用 is.
In the above sentence, the list of items is one singular list. Therefore, we should not use “are.” We should
use “is.”
错误 8:Interested 之后的词汇用法
(X)"I am interested to find a new hobby."
(O)"I am interested in finding a new hobby."
Eg:
There are many modern conveniences in this new apartment.
这间新公寓有许多现代便利设施
至今工作还算容易,但也可能有变数。
(X)So far the work is easy but things may change.
(O)So far the work has been easy but things may change.
玛丽说她完成了工作。
(X)Mary said that she finished the job.
(O)Mary said that she had finished the job.
**(O)Please note that this bill must be paid within 10 days. (请注意本帐单必须在十天内付款。)
(O)Please advise….(请指教)
(O)Please be advised….(请告知)
**这两种用法文法都对,但都属于比较老派、正式用法:
Eg: Please advise us of any change in your plan. (计划如有变更,请惠赐意见。)
(X)Please be reported…
(O)Please be informed…
Report 除了报告之外,也有告发、检举的意思。
它也可以用来描述某事情/动作最后是谁来接收,例如这句话:
【Whom did we hire to join the podcast team?】
3. “Whose”用于将所有权分配给某人。
比如这个句子是错的:Who's sweater is that?
错误 12:Into vs. In to
“Into”是一个 “介词”,用来表示一个东西朝着另一个东西移动或进入某个东西。.
Example: I made it into work a few minutes early today. // The tooth fairy tucked the tooth
into her pocket before placing a $1 bill under my daughter’s pillow.
你可以试着记得这个小技巧:
“Into”通常用在“where”?
而“ in to” 通常是“ in order to”的缩写。
The tooth fairy put my daughter’s tooth where? (—into her pocket).
(O)The tooth fairy put my daughter’s tooth into her pocket.
The tooth fairy came in where? To collect my daughter’s tooth? Hmm … that doesn’t work.
The tooth fairy came in order to collect my daughter’s tooth.
(O)The tooth fairy came in to collect my daughter’s tooth.
Do you know the checkout aisle in the grocery store that says "10 Items or Less"? That's
actually incorrect. It should be "10 Items or Fewer."
Why? Because "items" are quantifiable -- you can count out 10 items. Use "fewer" for things
that are quantifiable, like "fewer M&Ms" or "fewer road trips." Use "less" for things that
aren't quantifiable, like "less candy" and "less travelling."
