中學生英語學習常見錯誤一覽表5

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.��
stop ��
［誤］ when the teacher came into the classroom the students stopped to talk.��
［正］ when the teacher came into the classroom the students stopped talking.��
［析］ stop to do something是"停下來去做某事"，而stop doing something是"停止做某事"。��
street ��
［誤］ there is a narrow winding street from our village to the next one.��
［正］ there is a narrow winding road from our village to the next one.��
［析］ street一般指城市中兩旁有建筑物的"街道"，而road多指鄉間的"路"。��
strict ��
［誤］ you ought to be strict to him.��
［正］ you ought to be strict with him.��
［析］ be strict with是"對……嚴格的"。��
such ��
［誤］ do you want to have such a dictionary?��
［正］ do you want to have such a good dictionary?��
［正］ do you want to have a dictionary like that?��
［析］ such作加強語氣時一般是"such+(冠詞)形容詞+名詞"，如： it's such a good book. 但如果名詞前沒有形容詞則要看其名詞是否具有"能顯示程度的含意"，如： i've got such a headache. you are such fools!否則在such與名詞之間一定要有形容詞。��
sure ��
［誤］ i am quite sure for that answer.��
［正］ i am quite sure of that answer.��
［析］ sure用于句中表示"對……事有確實把握"時應跟of或about，而不跟for，如： i'm sure about (of) his ability to control this machine.��
