中學生英語學習常見錯誤一覽表3
e
each
［誤］ every of them has his habit.
［正］ each of them has his habit.
［析］ each可以作形容詞，但也可作代詞，而every只能作形容詞。
［誤］ the manager comes to america almost each month.
［正］ the manager comes to america almost every month.
［析］ each與every都作形容詞講時，都有"每個"之意，但有不同。each多指個體，而every則多指整體。如：we want every student to succeed. each不同來表達總體概念，所以不能與almost, nearly， likely等詞連用。
［誤］ we each has a book.
［正］ we each have a book.
［析］ each 作同位語時，其數應與其同位的名詞相同，而each作主語時則應取其單數形式。
each other one another
each other與one another這兩個詞組的區別在很多語法書中強調each other是兩者之間，而one another是多者之間，其實不然，如：all students must care for each other, must love and help each other. 事實上這兩個詞組是同義的，如果要講有什么區別的話，當我們非常籠統地談，而不特指什么人時，多用one another.
early
［誤］ could you come here more early?
［正］ could you come here earlier?
［析］ 單音節和少數雙音節副詞的比較級和最高級要用er和est來作其結尾，如fast, soon, early, hard, long, near等。
earth
［誤］ what on the earth do you mean?
［正］ what on earth do you mean?
［析］ on earth這一詞組在句中為的是加強語氣，其意為"究竟"、"到底"。而作為"地球"講時則要加定冠詞，如：how far is the earth from the moon. 而作為"泥土"講時則為不可數名詞，如：he filled the pot with earth and wanted to plant some flowers.
easy
［誤］ you can easy imagine my surprise.
［正］ you can easily imagine my surprise.
［析］ easy只在有限的詞組中被用作副詞，如take it easy (不要緊張)，go easy, stand easy等。 例如：easy come, easy go. (錢來的容易花的也快. )easier said than done. (說的容易做著難。)
east
［誤］ japan is on the east of china.
［正］ japan is to the east of china.
［析］ 在講述地理位置時，有3個介詞常用，它們是in, on和to, 其中in表示處于所表達的范圍之內，如：shanghai is in the east of china. on則表示雙方接壤，如：north korea is on the northeast of china. 而表示互不相接的兩部分時則用to, 如：Chinese Taiwan is to the east of fujian.
either
［誤］ -i don't like opera.
-i don't like too.
［正］ -i don't like opera.
-i don't like either.
［析］ 在否定句中用either表示"也"，而在肯定句中用too表示"也"。
［誤］ either you or i are right.
［正］ either you or i am right.
［析］ 這在語法書中被稱作就近原則，即哪個主語離謂語動詞近，則應采用與哪個主語相一致的謂語動詞，相同用法的還有neither…nor…，not only…but also…，以及or在連接兩個主語時。如：you or he is to go home. the others will have to stay in the classroom.
