1、英语常见错误一． 不一致（Disagreements）所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致，它还包括了数的不一致、时态不一致及代词不一致等． 例:１． When one have money ,he can do what hewant to . 人一旦有了钱，他就能想干什么就干什么． 剖析：one是单数第三人称，因而本句的have应改为has ;同理，want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致． 改为：Once one has money ,he can do what he wants(to do)二． 修饰语错位（
2、Misplaced Modifiers）英语与汉语不同，同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置，句子的含义可能引起变化．对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视，因而造成了不必要的误解．例１． I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus. 剖析：better位置不当，应置于句末．六． 指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清，或者先后所用的代词不一
3、致。试看下面这一句：Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her tobe her bridesmaid. (玛丽和我姐姐很要好，因为她要她做她的伴娘。) 读完上面这一句话，读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚，谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确，意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为：例And we can also know the society by serving it yourself. 剖析：句中人称代词we 和反身代词you
4、rself指代不一致。改为：We can also know society by serving it ourselves.Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted mysister to be her bridesmaid.七． 不间断句子 (Run-on Sentences)什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。 There are many ways we get to know the outside world.剖析：这个句子包含了两层完整的意思
5、：“There are many ways.” 以及“We get to know the outside world.”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。 改为：There are many ways for us to learn abouttheoutside world.或： There are many ways through which we can becomeacquainted with the outsideworld八． 措词毛病(Troubles in Diction)Diction 是指在特定的句子中
6、如何适当地选用词语的问题，由于教学时间紧迫，教师平时在这方面花的时间往往极其有限，影响了学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲，斟酌的习惯。他们往往随心所欲，拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误比比皆是。例： The increasing use of chemical obstacles inagriculture also makes pollution. (农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。) 剖析：显然，考生把obstacles“障碍”，“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasing us
7、e (不断增加的使用)” 应改为“abusive use (滥用)”。 改为：The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution.九． 累赘(Redundancy)言以简洁为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词；写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组；能用词组的不用从句或句子。如：In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him.本句的“the fact that he
8、 is lazy”系同谓语从句，我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为：In spite of his laziness, I like him.例剖析：整个句子可以大大简化。 改为：For the people who are
