中學生英語學習常見錯誤一覽表2
can與could都可以用在現在時的口語中，只是用could更為禮貌，語氣更委婉。如：could you tell us a story?
care
［誤］ i don't care coffee.
［正］ i don't care for coffee.
［誤］ take care for your steps.
［正］ take care of your steps.
［析］ care for是"對某物感興趣"，而care of是"關心，要當心某事"，如：she didn't care for him. take care of what you are doing.
［誤］ i don't care where we will go if it doesn't rain.
［正］ i don't care where we go if it doesn't rain.
［析］ 在it doesn't matter, i don't care, i don't mind, 及in case引出的狀語從句后面要用現在時表示將來。如：i've got a football in case we have time for a game.
change
［誤］ i want to change my camera with that one.
［正］ i want to change my camera for that one.
［析］ change for為"以某物為交換物"。而change with則是"隨……而變"，如：the wood's colour changed with the season.
cheap
［誤］ a teacher's salary is generally very cheap.
［正］ a teacher's salary is generally very low.
［析］ 工資的高低要用low，cheap是指價格便宜，如果要講物美價廉則要用not expensive, 如：this car is not expensive.
choose
［誤］ we each had to have a choose of a or b.
［正］ we each had to have a choice of a or b.
［析］ choice是名詞，而choose是動詞。
class
［誤］ the class is watching tv.
［正］ the class are watching tv.
［析］ class作主語時，如果作為整體講則應用單數形式的謂語動詞，如：the class was more than forty in number. 如考慮到具體的每個成員時則應用復數形式的謂語動詞，如：the class are, in general, very bright.
clean
［誤］ sorry, i didn't bought it here. i cleanly forgot.
［正］ sorry, i didn't bought it here. i clean forgot.
［析］ clean可以作為副詞講，其意為"完全"，而cleanly則意為"正確地"、"干凈利落地"，如：the knife doesn't cut cleanly. 而clean作為形容詞講時意為"清潔的"、"干凈的"，如：her face is not clean now.
clever
［誤］ i'm not clever in english.
［正］ i'm not clever at english.
［析］ clever at是固定搭配，表示在某方面有特長。
close
［誤］ it is cold outside. please keep the door close.
［正］ it is cold outside. please keep the door closed.
［析］ 這里的close是動詞，意為"關閉"，而keep后要加形容詞，所以要用close的過去分詞形式closed作形容詞。作形容詞用的close意為"近的"、"親密的"。
［誤］ come closely so that i can see you.
［正］ come close so that i can see you.
［誤］ good teaching and good testing are close related.
［正］ good teaching and good testing are closely related.
［析］ close,closely同樣可以作副詞用，但其意義不同，close是"靠近"、"接近"之意，而closely則是"緊密"、"嚴密"、"密切"之意。
