中學生英語學習常見錯誤一覽表a
a
［誤］ i think it is an useful english dictionary.
［正］ i think it is a useful english dictionary.
［析］ 在不定冠詞a與an的用法中要注意的一點是：an用在以元音開頭的詞之前；而a則用在以輔音開頭的詞之前。要特別注意的是以u字母打頭的單詞，如useful,university等，其第一個音標是［j］，所以要特別予以注意。
［誤］ i need a hour to finish this letter.
［正］ i need an hour to finish this letter.
［析］ 要注意hour和honest的第一個字母不發音。
［誤］ my teacher is a unknown man, but he is a very good man.
［正］ my teacher is an unknown man, but he is a very good man.
［析］ 要注意以u打頭的單詞，它的發音為［］時，單數名詞前要用an，如uncle等。
［誤］ there is a "f" in the word "football".
［正］ there is an "f" in the word "football".
［析］ 英文字母單獨使用時，如其第一個發音是元音時，其前面的不定冠詞應該用an而不是a.
［誤］ i have a little brother. he is a 8yearold boy.
［正］ i have a little brother. he is an 8yearold boy.
［析］ 要注意這些字母的第一個發音為元音，如eight, eleven等。
able
［誤］ this bike is able to be repaired.
［正］ this bike can be repaired.
［析］ be able to 主要表達某事或某人具有某種能力去作某事，應譯為"有本領"、"有能力"、"可以"作某事，如：i'm able to swim across this river. 而can可以用來表示具有接受能力或吸收能力。如：this radio can be repaired here.
about
［誤］ this class is about to begin just now.
［正］ this class is about to begin.
［析］ 要注意be about to 是"將要"的意思，含有將來時之意，不要與表示過去時的時間狀語連用。另外，be about to 一般用作書面語，對應的口語是be going to.
about on
about與on都可以作"關于"講，但卻有所不同，例如：this book is about physics. 應譯為"這是一本關于物理學的科普讀物。"而：this book is on physics.則應譯為"這是一本物理學方面的專著。"
above
［誤］ the temperature is five degrees over zero.
［正］ the temperature is five degrees above zero.
［析］ 表達"在……上方"時，above與over是可以互換的，如：the sky is above(or over)our heads. 但是要表達在垂直方向上的上方時則應用above不可用over，如：the sun has risen above the horizon.
［誤］ there is often thick cloud above the south of china in summer.
［正］ there is often thick cloud over the south of china in summer.
［析］ 當表達覆蓋之意時，只可用over而不能用above.
［誤］ there is a bridge above the river.
［正］ there is a bridge over the river.
［析］ 用來表達"從……上方越過"時不能用above只能用over，如：the plane flew over the city. 但要注意there is waterfall above the bridge. 則應譯為"在橋的上游有一個瀑布。"
