[误] What are the woman teachers doing?[正] What are the women teachers doing?[解析] 在英语中,当一名词作定语修饰另一名词(单或复数形式)时,作定语的名词一般要用其单数形式;但当man, woman作定语修饰可数名词复数形式时,要用其复数形式men, women。[误] How many peoples are there in the room?[正] How many people are there in the room?[误] I want to buy two bottle of milk for my son.[正] I want to buy two bottles of milk for my son.[解析] 表示不可数名词的数量时,常用“a / an或数词+表量的可数名词+ of + 不可数名词”这一结构,其中当数词大于1时,表量的可数名词要用其复数形式。[误] What time does your sister usually goes to school?[正] What time does your sister usually go to school?[解析] 借助助动词do(或does)构成疑问句或否定句时,句中的谓语动词用其原形。[误] Linda often do her homework in the evening, but this evening she watching TV.[正] Linda often does her homework in the evening, but this evening she is watching TV.[解析] 一般现在时的谓语动词用原形或三单形式,Linda是第三人称单数,故谓语动词应用does;现在进行时的谓语动词结构为:am/is/are doing,故应为she is watching TV。[误] This pair of shoes are red.[正] This pair of shoes is red.[解析] 在shoes, trousers, gloves, glasses等表示成双成对的衣物或工具名词前用pair(表计量)修饰时,谓语动词的形式由pair的单复数形式来决定。[误] This is hers ticket. It’s not my.[正] This is her ticket. It’s not mine.[解析] 物主代词有形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词之分。形容词性物主代词之后一定要接名词,而名词性物主代词之后不能接名词。[误] Miss Wu teaches our English.[正] Miss Wu teaches us English.[解析] teach sb. sth..中的sb.作teach的宾语,因此当sb.为人称代词时要用其宾格形式。[误] Can you find the answer of this question?[正] Can you find the answer to this question?[解析] 英语中用“the answer to …”表示“……的答案”。类似结构还有the key to the door, the way to the zoo等。[误] Mr. Green will come here in Sunday evening.[正] Mr. Green will come here on Sunday evening.[解析] 表示在上午、下午等时,介词要用in;而表示在具体的某天上午、下午时,介词要用on。[误] That little girl on a red skirt is our teacher’s daughter.[正] That little girl in a red skirt is our teacher’s daughter.[解析] 用介词表示“穿戴衣物”时,只能用in,其他介词没有此用法。[误] Lily, why don’t you go to home?[正] Lily, why don’t you go home?[解析] home在这里是副词,动词后直接加副词。[误] I like Chinese and English, but I don’t like P.E. and history.[正] I like Chinese and English, but I don’t like P.E. or history.[解析] 在肯定句中并列成分之间用and来连接;而在否定句中,并列成分之间的连接需用or。[误] It takes Smiths a hour to go to Beijing by a plane.[正] It takes the Smiths an hour to go to Beijing by plane.[解析] ①表示“……一家人”用结构“the + 姓氏复数”;②hour 一词的第一个字母不发音,它的发音是以元音音素开头的,所以“一小时”要用 an hour;③用介词by表示“乘坐”某种交通工具时,交通工具名词前不加任何冠词。[误] ——Aren’t you a student? ——No, I am.[正]——Aren’t you a student? ——Yes, I am.[解析] 对否定疑问句的回答是用Yes还是用No,这取决于实际情况:如果事实是肯定的,就用Yes;如果事实是否定的,就用No。
