中學生英語學習常見錯誤一覽表4
［正］ i'll leave beijing for shanghai.
［析］ leave for一詞組為"去某地"，如對話中常講i'll leave for shanghai. 因所離開的地點是雙方都知道的則可以省略。
leave forget
［誤］ i've forgotten my homework at home.
［正］ i've forgotten my homework.
［正］ i've left my homework at home.
［析］ 如果句中有地點狀語則不要用forget, 而要用leave.
lesson
［誤］ i have two lessons of english.
［正］ i have two english lessons.
［正］ i have two lessons in english.
［析］ "我有兩節英語課。"這一表達法如上，但美國老師講他有兩節課時則多用"i have two classes."teach somebody a lesson 為"教訓某人"，或"要吸取教訓"，如： let this thing teaches you a lesson.
lend
［誤］ please borrow me your bike.
［正］ please lend me your bike.
［析］ borrow是指"借入"，如： i want to borrow some books from the library. lend 是"借出"，如： i can lend you my bike. 而keep為"借多久"： 如 how long can i keep it?
less
［誤］ he has fewer money than she has.
［正］ he has less money than she has.
［析］ less是little的比較級，而fewer是few的比較級。要注意前者修飾不可數名詞，而后者修飾可數名詞。
let
［誤］ the teacher lets the students clean the classroom as a punishment.
［正］ the teacher makes the students clean the classroom as a punishment.
［析］ 雖然let, have, make有相同的用法，但make和have含有迫使某人做某事的意思。
［誤］ let's go to the park, will you?
［正］ let's go to the park, shall we?
［誤］ let us go to the park, shall we?
［正］ let us go to the park, will you?
［析］ let's go的反意疑問句是shall we?而let us go的反意疑問句則是will you?
life
［誤］ many people lost their life in the second world war.
［正］ many people lost their lives in the second world war.
［析］ life作為"生命"、"性命"時應為可數名詞；當泛指一般"生活"講時則為不可數名詞，如： which do you prefer, town life or country life? 又如： life is not all fun.
light
［誤］ there is a desk with a lit lamp on it.
［正］ there is a desk with a lighted lamp on it.
［析］ light有兩個過去分詞： lighted和lit，當用過去分詞作形容詞當定語時只能用lighted.light可以用作名詞，如： the moon gets its light from the sun. 也可以作形容詞，如： the classroom is very light. 還可以作動詞，如： the little girl lit a match. 作形容詞時還有"輕"、"淺"等意，如： this box is light. i like light blue.
like
［誤］ my sister is very as me.
［正］ my sister is very like me.
［析］ as 作為連詞其后要接從句，如： she is a good student as his brother used to be. 而like是介詞，其后接賓語。
［誤］ do you like swimming with me tonight.
