中學(xué)生英語學(xué)習(xí)常見錯誤一覽表4
［誤］ how long do you go to see your parents? once a week.
［正］ how often do you go to see your parents? once a week.
［析］ 因為答語為每周一次所以問的是頻率，要用how often.
look
look for find
look for 側(cè)重于 "尋找"這個動作，如： what are you looking for? 而find則側(cè)重于結(jié)果，如： it is very difficult to find a job. 這里不能用look for，因為真正困難的是"找到"工作。
其他用法還有：
［例］ he often looks back on his highschool days.
［析］ look back on something 為"回顧"、"回想"。
［例］ i wish you wouldn't look down on (upon) the children's work.
［析］ look down on (upon) 為"看不起"某人或某事。
［誤］ i'm looking forward to see you.
［正］ i'm looking forward to seeing you.
［析］ look forward to詞組中的to是介詞，所以其后要加名詞或動名詞，不能接不定式。
lot
［誤］ i can buy this dictionary now, because i have got much money.
［正］ i can buy this dictionary now because i have got a lot of money.
［析］ much money多用于疑問句與否定句中，而在肯定句中要用a lot of.lots of與a lot of之間無多大區(qū)別，兩者都可以修飾可數(shù)與不可數(shù)名詞，所以常常可以互換。
［誤］ he is more happier now.
［正］ he is a lot happier now.
［析］ 不可用more來修飾比較級，能修飾比較級的詞有very much, a lot, lots, any, no, rather, a little, a bit等。
loud loudly
這兩個詞含意相同，在日常用語中l(wèi)oud多與talk，speak, shout, laugh等動詞連用，如：don't speak so loud， you'll wake the baby. 而在比較正式的場合才用loudly.
loud aloud
loud多指把聲音放大，而aloud則指要出聲不要默讀。如：-what did you say?-oh, nothing, i was just think aloud. (我只不過自言自語。)
m
make
［誤］ the little boy was made repeat the whole story.
［正］ the little boy was made to repeat the whole story.
［誤］ the father made his son to do his homework from morning till night.
［正］ the father made his son do his homework from morning till night.
［析］ make 的句型為"make somebody do (doing) something".但在被動語態(tài)中原來被省去的不定式符號to要被還原回來。
［誤］ i always do this mistake.
［正］ i always make this mistake.
［析］ 英語中do和make是十分不易弄清的兩個動詞，do常用于談?wù)摴ぷ鲿r或某種不確定的活動時，如： do a favour(幫個忙)，do one's best(竭盡全力)，do good(有益)， do harm(有害)，而多數(shù)情況下常用make, 如： make a suggestion, make a cake, make a bed(收拾床)，make a noise, make money等等。
［誤］ this wine was made of grapes.
［正］ this wine was made from grapes.
［析］ 當(dāng)成品制成后，其原料的性質(zhì)有所改變時應(yīng)用make from，否則用make of， 如： this door was made of iron.
［誤］ hard work can often make up a lack of intelligence.
