⑿误: The train is entering into the tunnel.
正: The train is entering the tunnel.
十.不连贯(Incoherence)。不连贯是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通。这也是初学者常犯的毛病。
例如:The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.
析:The fresh water 与逗号后的it 不连贯。It 与things 在数方面不一致。
改为:Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.
如:
误: Being an honest man, Tom worked very hard.
正: Being an honest man, Tom never tells a lie.
误: Liu hua is a kind-hearted girl. She will be successful in anything she tries.
正: As she has a trong will and confidence in herself,Liu hua may be successful in anything she tries.
十一.综合性语言错误(Comprehensive Misusage)。所谓“综合性语言错误”,是指除了上述十种错误以外,还有诸如时态,语态,标点符号,大小写等方面的错误。
例如:Today, Money to everybody is very importance, our’s eat, cloth, live, go etc.
针对高中学生来说,他们在作文中常犯的语法错误的类型有:名词单复数变化错误;时态不一致谓语或句型出错,句子不完整;介词、冠词遗漏等。
(1) 时态、人称和数用错
汉语动词无时态、人称和数的变化,而对英语动词来说,这些都至关重要。例:
误:They said they can complete the work in three months.
正:They said they could complete the work in three months.
误:My father is a work and my mother is teachers.
正:My father is a worker and my mother is a teacher.
(2) be 动词遗漏。在主系表结构中,汉语中没有动词的句子是允许的,英语中每个完整的句子都必须有动词来承担谓语,如:“我累了。”这个句子没有动词作谓语,而用形容词,但英语形容词不能作谓语,一定要写成:I'm tired.
误:He will sure to come and help me.
正:He will be sure to come and help me.
(3) 句子不完整。有的考生因为对句子结构认识模糊,所以出现只写半句的现象,这也是造成失分的原因之一。
误:Because the kids thought their wages were too low.
正:Because the kids thought their wages were too low, they demanded a high pay.
误:While waiting for the bus.
正:While waiting for the bus, he talked with the little girl.
(4) 介词、冠词遗漏。还有一些考生因为没有熟练掌握介词或者冠词的用法,也会出现明显的错误,造成丢分现象。
误:Because his mistake several people died.
正:Because of his mistake several people died.
误:I have never seen such beautiful picture.
正:I have never seen such a beautiful picture.
