中學(xué)生英語學(xué)習(xí)常見錯(cuò)誤一覽表3
[誤] one and half apples are left on the table.
[正] one and half apples is left on the table.
[析] 一個(gè)半one and half后面的名詞要用復(fù)數(shù),而句中的謂語動(dòng)詞卻要用單數(shù)。
[誤] half of the work are done.
[正] half of the work is done.
[誤] half of the six apples is red.
[正] half of the six apples are red.
[析] "half of+名詞"這一結(jié)構(gòu)后面的謂語動(dòng)詞應(yīng)與of后面的名詞相一致,如為不可數(shù)名詞或可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),要用單數(shù)謂語動(dòng)詞;而復(fù)數(shù)名詞后面要加與復(fù)數(shù)相對(duì)應(yīng)的謂語動(dòng)詞。
hand
[誤] he shook hand with his teacher.
[正] he shook hands with his teacher.
[析] 與某人握手要用shake hands. 與hand有關(guān)的詞組中有很多要用復(fù)數(shù)形式,如:change hands (轉(zhuǎn)手、易手),in the hands of (由……控制),join hands (與人合作)。
happen
[誤] what was happened to you last month?
[正] what happened to you last month?
[誤] an accident was happened in this street last night.
[正] an accident happened in this street last night.
[析] 在英語中不及物動(dòng)詞沒有被動(dòng)態(tài),作為"發(fā)生"講的happen,take place和break out都不具有被動(dòng)態(tài)。happen to常用來表達(dá)一件偶然發(fā)生的事,如:if you happen to meet my sister please ask her to call me.
hard
[誤] i have to study hardly.
[正] i have to study hard.
[析] hard是形容詞,如:a hard work,但它同時(shí)也是副詞。hardly是hard的又一副詞形式,但詞意截然不同,意為"幾乎不"。
[誤] i had my leg broken last term, so i couldn't hardly study at all.
[正] i had my leg broken last term so i hardly studied at all.
[析] hardly意為"否定",所以不要再加否定詞語了,如果hardly用于句首則應(yīng)采用倒裝語序,如:hardly had he arrived when she started complaining.
have
[誤] i had my boy do his homework from morning till noon.
[正] i had my boy doing his homework from morning till noon.
[析] 用have somebody do something還是doing something要取決句子的意思和句中的時(shí)間狀語。
[誤] i have my bike to repair.
[正] i have my bike repaired.
[析] have something done這一句型是讓某事被別人去作,請(qǐng)看下面兩句意義的不同:i have repaired my bike. (我自己已修好了自行車。)而i have my bike repaired.(我把車推出去讓別人修理了。)
[誤] could you give me some money if you have.
[正] could you give me some money if you have any.
[析] "如果你有的話"一句譯為英文應(yīng)加上any一詞,如:i want some books if there is any.
headache
[誤] i've got headache.
[正] i've got a headache.
[析] headache是一個(gè)規(guī)則的可數(shù)名詞,所以可以講:my mother often gets headaches. 但是"牙痛"toothache,"肚子痛"stomacheache等卻都可以用作不可數(shù)名詞,如:i've got toothache. 但也可用作可數(shù)名詞。
