高考英语写作：常见错误分析

8. 主谓不一致

主语和谓语动词在人称和数上要保持一致，遵循意义一致、语法一致和就近一致原则。

例8 错误：My cousin’s family were richer than mine， he had more toys than I did.

正确：Since my cousin’s family was richer than mine， he had more toys than I did.

或My cousin’s family was richer than mine， so he had more toys than I did.

分析：family属于集体名词，表示整体意义时谓语用单数，表示家庭成员时谓语用复数。显然，这里强调前者，谓语用单数。还有，前后句是因果关系，但没有连词连接，故用since或so。

9. 时态不呼应

前后时态应呼应，体现在前后时态相互映衬和时态、时间以及状态相互对应，并一一匹配。

例9 错误：I still remembered how I became a good table tennis player.

正确：I still remember how I became a good table tennis player.

分析：主从句时态貌似呼应，但并不相互映衬。“我”成为一名乒乓球运动员发生在过去，但“我”至今仍然记得成长历程。“记得”的动作发生在现在，应用一般现在时。

10. 结构不平行

由并列连词连接起来的语法结构应形式照应、内容相近、功能一致。

例10 错误：We should strictly and voluntarily follow traffic rules， stop at the red light rather than complaining about traffic jams.

正确：We should strictly and voluntarily follow traffic rules， stopping at the red light rather than complaining about traffic jams.

分析：前后分句仅使用逗号隔开说明为主从关系，故将谓语动词stop改为非谓语动词。rather than 相当于并列连词，stop和complain应保持平行，前后形式应照应。
