備戰2020中考英語總復習資料
［誤］ oil was used to cooking.
［正］ oil was used to cook.
［析］ 這里的句型雖然也是be used to但這里不是主動態，而是被動態，所以不能接動名詞而應接不定式。
［誤］ we used to go to the great wall three times.
［正］ we went to the great wall three times.
［析］ used to只能用來表示一種習慣，而不能用來表達某事發生的次數。
v
very
［誤］ thank you indeed.
［正］ thank you very much indeed.
［析］ indeed用來修飾very much, 但要放其后面，而且也不要單獨使用。
［誤］ the baby was very asleep.
［正］ the baby was fast asleep.
［析］ 不是所有的形容詞都可以用very來修飾，如： i'm wide awake. (我全醒了。)再如： all alone(十分孤獨)，much afraid等。
［誤］ the thing seems to be very improved.
［正］ the thing seems to be much improved.
［析］ 有些語法書講very修飾現在分詞，而much修飾過去分詞，這要分別對待。如果過去分詞是指一個具體的動作，而且是句中主要動詞的一部分就必須用much，而某些形容詞化的過去分詞，還是要用very來修飾的，如： i am very tired.
［誤］ there is very less water in the river than usual.
［正］ there is much/far less water in the river than usual.
［析］ very不能修飾形容詞或副詞的比較級，而要用far, much等來修飾。
w
wait
［誤］ tomorrow i will wait you at the bus stop.
［正］ tomorrow i will wait for you at the bus stop.
［析］ wait是不及物動詞，"等人"要用wait for somebody；而wait up為"不睡覺等候某事"，如： i'll wait up tonight.
walk
［誤］ i think she went a walk yesterday.
［正］ i think she went out for a walk yesterday.
［析］ 散步在英文中要講have a walk, take a walk.如果用go要用go for a walk.
want
［誤］ the flowers want to water.
［正］ the flowers want watering.
［析］ want在這里作為"需要"講，其后加動名詞。這句話的意思是"這花需要澆水。"
［誤］ do you want someone go along with you?
［正］ do you want someone to go along with you?
［析］ want somebody to do something為一固定用法。
wash
［誤］ are you going to mak washing this weekend?
［正］ are you going to do washing this weekend?
［析］ do washing為"洗衣服"，是固定搭配。
watch
［誤］ your watch is what time?
［正］ what time is it by your watch?
［析］ 一定要記住英文的習慣用法。
［誤］ the mother want to watch the children to play on the grass.
［正］ the mother want to watch the children play (playing) on the grass.
［析］ watch的用法同see, hear等詞。
way
［誤］ please move the chair, it is on the way.
［正］ please move the chair, it is in the way.
［析］ in the way 為"擋道"，而on the way為"在路上"，如： on my way home (在回家路上)，on his way to the station(在他去火車站的路上)。而by the way是"順便說"，如： by the way, have you heard from joan recently?
