2020中考英語考前錯題本（s字母篇）
safe［誤］ the brave man safed the boy from drowning.
［正］ the brave man saved the boy from drowning.
［析］ safe是形容詞，如： they wished him a safe journey. safely是副詞，如： the young man drives his car safely. 而safety是名詞，如： safety island(安全島)，safety first!(安全第一!)但save是動詞。
same
［誤］ yesterday i got a postcard. it is th e same that you got the day before yesterday.
［正］ yesterday i got a postcard. it is the same as you got the day before yesterday.
［析］ the same that意為"即是"，而the same as才能譯為"像……一樣的。"
［誤］ your book is not same as mine.
［正］ your book is not the same as mine.
［析］ the same as中的定冠詞不能少。
say
［誤］ his report wrote she is nineteen.
［正］ his report says she is nineteen.
［析］ 中文中常講"報告上寫到"、"信上寫到"，這樣的"寫"在英文中要用say.
say speak talk tell
英文中"說"一般有四個詞，其中say和tell為及物動詞。tell可以加雙賓語，如please tell me a story. 而speak 與talk為不及物動詞。speak只有后面直接加"語言"時才是及物的，如： please speak english. 請看下句： he went on talking for a long time, but he spoke so fast that few of us could catch what he said.
sea
［誤］ as a boy his great ambition(抱負) was to go to the sea.
［正］ as a boy his great ambition was to go to sea.
［析］ go to sea為"去當水手、海員"；而go to the sea=go to the seaside, 如： he want to go to the sea for his vacation.
在"海中"游泳為in the sea; at sea為在"海上航行"，如： i have a brother at sea. by sea為"坐船"、"由海路運輸"，如： we travelled to new york by sea.
second
［誤］ i want to learn the second foreign language.
［正］ i want to learn a second foreign language.
［析］ 當作為"第二"外語，"再增加一個"時，不要用the secon d而要用a second. the second強調排隊的次序，a second強調再增加一個。
see
［誤］ he was seen leave the room.
［正］ he was seen to leave the room.
［析］ see作主動態時用作to see so mebody do something, 而用作被動態時則是somebody to be seen to do something. 要注意慣用法let me see(讓我想想)。
sheep
［誤］ there are five sheeps on the grass.
［正］ there are five sheep on the grass.
［析］ sheep是單、復數同形名詞，其他的還有： deer(鹿)，fish(魚)等。
ship
［誤］ i travelled on a yacht.
［正］ i travelled on a ship (in a yacht).
［析］ 雖然都是船，但游艇(yacht)要用in, 而ship要用on.
