中學生英語學習常見錯誤一覽表3
invent
[誤] america was invented by christopher columbus in 1492.
[正] america was discovered by christopher columbus in 1492.
[析] invent意為"發(fā)明"即從無到有,如: compass was invented by the chinese people. 而discover則意為"發(fā)現(xiàn)"。
it
[誤] that takes me ten years to finish this work.
[正] it takes me ten years to finish this work.
[析] it在這個句中的語法作用是形式主語,而真正的主語是句子后面的不定式。有的句子要用it作形式主語或形式賓語,如: i think it difficult to learn english well.
