中學生英語學習常見錯誤一覽表5
［誤］ i think he will come here, do i?
［正］ i think he will come here, wont he?
［析］ think加賓語從句時，反意疑問句的主語應用賓語從句中的主語，助動詞要用賓語從句中的助動詞，而肯定還是否定要看主句中的情況決定：如主句用肯定句，則反意疑問句用否定句，反之亦然。
［誤］ people think very high of his work.
［正］ people think very highly of his work.
［析］ think highly of為"對某人某事評價很高"。
［誤］ when we talk about chinese people we always think the yellow river.
［正］ when we talk about chinese people we always think about the yellow river.
［析］ think about意為"想起"、"想到"。
thousand
［誤］ he got thousand of books from a secondhandbook shop.
［正］ he got thousands of books from a secondhandbook shop.
［析］ 雖然two thousand, three thousand在thousand后都不加s，但thousands of則為"數千"，該結構中一定要加s。
through
［誤］ i had a long distance call with john throught the telephone.
［正］ i had a long distance call with john on the telephone.
［誤］ it took us two hours to walk across the forest.
［正］ it took us two hours to walk through the forest.
［析］ across是表示在一平面上進行的動作，而through則是用在三維空間的動作。如： the river was frozen, so we could walk across it. i pushed through the crowds to the entrance.
throw
［誤］ he threw a stone to me.
［正］ he threw a stone at me.
［析］ "扔"這個詞表示方向時要注意他向我扔石頭是at me，我向他扔石頭則為to him，但throw at還有尋釁之意，如： stop throwing stones at the cars. 這時不要誤用to.
time
［誤］ the doctor came on time so she was saved.
［正］ the doctor came in time so she was saved.
［析］ in time為"及時趕到"，如： do you think we can get there in time for the first act. 而on time 意為"準時"，如： the train arrived on time.
［誤］ it is time we go home.
［正］ it is time we should go home.
［正］ it is time we went home.
［析］ "是該作某事的時候了"，其句形為： ① it is time for somebody to do something. ② "it is time+從句"，從句中用"should+動詞原形"，或直接用動詞的過去式。
［誤］ let's hurry. we haven't many times.
［正］ let's hurry. we haven't much time.
［誤］ i have been to america two times.
［正］ i have been to america twice.
［析］ time作為"時間"講時為不可數名詞，而作為"次"講時則是可數名詞。但"一次"不是one time，而是once；"二次"不是two times，而是twice；"三次"則是three times.
too
［誤］ this box is too heavy to lift it.
［正］ this box is too heavy to lift.
［析］ 在too…to這一結構中，如果主語和不定式的賓語是一致的，則不要重復。
