2020中考英語考前錯題本（s字母篇）
sometime
［誤］ i have sometime thought that i should like to live in the country.
［正］ i have sometimes thought that i should like to live in the country.
sometime sometimes some times sometime
sometime為"某個時候"、"總有一天"，如： we'll meet again sometime next year. 或過去的"某一時刻"，如： i saw her sometime in july. sometimes為"有時候"、"時常"、"常常"，如： every man is a fool sometimes, and none at all times. some times為"若干次"，如： i visited america some times. may be five or seven times. i am not sure. some time則是"一段時間"、"一些時候"，如： i want to leave some time.
soon
［誤］ the room as soon as became crowded.
［正］ the room soon became crowded.
［析］ soon為"不久"、"很快"，如： i'll be there very soon. 而as soon as意為"一……就……"，如： as soon as i finished my homework i went out to play football.
sound
［誤］ the report sounds well.
［正］ the report sounds good.
［析］ sound作動詞時其后接形容詞而不接副詞，如： how sweet the music sounds!
sport
［誤］ are you going to run in the school sprot?
［正］ are you going to run in the school sprots?
［析］ sport用作可數名詞單數時指具體的某項運動，如： basketball is an indoor sport. 而在泛指"運動"或"運動會"時要用其復數形式sports.
spring
［誤］ i'll visit america in this spring.
［正］ i'll visit america in spring.
［正］ i'll visit america this spring.
［析］ 英語一年四季前如果有that, this, last, next等詞，則其前面不要再加介詞。這樣的用法還有周、月、年等。請看下面句子中的用法有何不同： he told me that she did it on the next day. 這時是指過去某一天的第二天，所以才有這種用法。如果以現在為時間基點的第二天應為i'll do it next day.
start
［誤］ what time will you start to san francisco?
［正］ what time will you start for san francisco?
［析］ start與leave一樣，其后接"for+目的地"。
begin start
begin與start在很多場合下是一樣的意思，如： we started/began to study english two years ago. 但在如下場合則不能用begin: ① 作為"啟程"講，如： i think we ought to start at six. ② 表示"開始工作"，如： the car won't start. (車子發動不起來。) ③ 作為"開動"、"啟動"講，如： do you know how to start this machine.
still
［誤］ oh, it is still raining now.
［正］ oh, it is still raining.
［析］ 因still即包含有現在仍然如何，所以now是多余詞。
still yet already
still一般與動詞連用，可放于句子中間用以說明過去開始的動作現在仍然在繼續，特別用來表示我們希望它早點停止。如： i've been thinking for hours, but i still can't decide. yet一般放于句末，用在疑問句與否定句中。如： has the postman come yet? already則與動詞連用，可放于句中表示某事的發生比預期的要早，如： i've already finished my homework.
