篇1:英语知识点之主动语态变被动语态常见错误

全文共 773 字

+ 加入清单

(1)误用语态。比如:

Childrenoftensingthissong.

孩子们经常唱这首歌。

错误:Thissongwasoftensungbychildren.

正确:Thissongisoftensungbychildren.

解析:由主动语态变为被动语态,只是谓语动词从主动式到被动式的转变,时态不能改变,即主动句用什么时态,变为被动句时还要用同一种时态。

(2)误用句子种类。比如:

Dotheymakethosebikesintheirworkshop?

他们在车间生产自行车吗?

错误:Thosebikesaremadeintheirworkshop.

正确:Arethosebikesmadeintheirworkshop?

解析:主动语态变被动语态,句子的种类(陈述句、否定句、疑问句)不能改变。如果主动句是一般疑问句,变为被动句时,也要用一般疑问句形式。

(3)错选宾语。比如:

Theteachergavesomeadvicetothestudent.

老师给学生一些意见。

错误:Thestudentwasgivensomeadvicetobytheteacher.

正确:Someadvicewasgiventothestudentbytheteacher.

解析:thestudent是介词to的宾语。变为被动语态时不能作为句子的主语,应把紧跟在谓语后的宾语(someadvice)变为句子的主语。

(4)主谓不一致。比如:

HeusuallywatchesTVintheevening.

他通常在晚上看电视。

错误:TVwasusuallywatchedintheevening.

正确:TVisusuallywatchedintheevening.

解析:被语态的谓语动词结构be+p.p.中的be应和其主语(即原来主动语态中的宾语)在人称和数上保持一致。

中考英语知识点:修饰比较级常见错误

1.more不可修饰比较级,但much可以用来加强比较级,意为"……的多,更……"

HelooksmoreyoungerthanI.(×)

HelooksmuchyoungerthanI.(√)

2.比较的对象或范围出现错误。

1)TheweatherofBeijingiscolderthanShanghai.(×)(比较的对象应该是上海的天气,而不是上海)

TheweatherofBeijingiscolderthanthatofShanghai.(√)

2)ChinaislargerthananycountryinAsia.(×)(出现了逻辑上的错误:中国就是亚洲国家,应当排除在外。)

ChinaislargerthananycountryinAfrica.(√)中国比非洲的任何国家都大。

ChinaislargerthananyothercountryinAsia.(√)中国比亚洲的任何(其他的)国家都大。

特别提示

Than后面接代词时,一般要用主格,但在口语中也可使用宾格。如果than后是一个句子,则不可使用宾格。

Heworksharderthanme.

HeworksharderthanIdo.

篇3:英语写作中最容易犯的错误有哪些

全文共 3275 字

+ 加入清单

英语写作中常见错误你知道是哪些么?接下来小编为大家介绍一下英语写作中常见错误,一起来看看吧!

英语写作中常见错误:

一、不一致(Disagreements)

所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致、时态不一致及代词不一致等。

例:When one have money, he can do what he want to.

剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has;同理,want应改为wants。本句是典型的主谓不一致。

改为:Once one has money, he can do what he wants (to do).

二、修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)

英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化。对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解。

例:I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.

剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末。

三、句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)

在口语中,交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等,不完整的句子完全可以被理解。可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后,笔者又想加些补充说明时发生。

例:There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on.

剖析:本句后半部分"for example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on."不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句。

改为:There are many ways to know society, for example, by TV, radio, and newspaper.

四、悬垂修饰语(Dangling Modifiers)

所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清。例如:

At the age of ten, my grandfather died. 这句中"at the age of ten"只点出十岁时,但没有说明“谁”十岁时。按一般推理不可能是my grandfather,如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明确一点,全句就不那么费解了。

改为:When I was ten, my grandfather died.

例:To do well in college, good grades are essential.

剖析:句中不定式短语 “to do well in college” 的逻辑主语不清楚。

改为:To do well in college, a student needs good grades.

五、词性误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)

“词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等。

例:None can negative the importance of money.

剖析:negative 系形容词,误作动词。

改为:None can deny the importance of money.

六、指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)

指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。试看下面这一句:

Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.(玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。)

读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.

例:And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.

剖析:句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不一致。

改为:We can also know society by serving it ourselves.

七、不间断句子(Run-on Sentences)

什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。

例:There are many ways we get to know the outside world.

剖析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:"There are many ways."以及"We get to know the outside world."简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。

改为:There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world.

或:There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world.

八、措词毛病(Troubles in Diction)

Diction 是指在特定的句子中如何适当地选用词语的问题,囿于教学时间紧迫,教师平时在这方面花的时间往往极其有限,影响了学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲,斟酌的习惯。他们往往随心所欲,拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误比比皆是。

例:The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution.(农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。)

剖析:显然,考生把obstacles“障碍”,“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasing use (不断增加的使用)” 应改为"abusive use (滥用)"。

改为:The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution.

九、累赘(Redundancy)

言以简洁为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词,写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组,能用词组的不用从句或句子。如:

In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him.

本句的"the fact that he is lazy"系同谓语从句,我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为:In spite of his laziness, I like him.

例:For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.

剖析:整个句子可以大大简化。

改为:Diligent, caring people use money only to buy what they need.

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。这也是考生常犯的毛病。

例:The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.

剖析: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.

篇5:高考英语写作技巧分析归纳

全文共 7991 字

+ 加入清单

英语作文看起来简单,实际却很难,尤其是很难得分,想要写出取得高分的英语作文,必须要学习一些写作技巧。下面是小编为大家整理的关于高考英语写作技巧分析归纳,欢迎大家来阅读。

高考英语作文的三大技巧

技巧一、举实例

思维短路,举实例!

提出一个观点,举实例!

提出一个方案,举实例!

而且者也是我们揭示一个观点最好的方式,任何情况下,只要我们无法继续文章,不管三七二十一,尽管举例子!

in order to attract more customers, advertisers have adopted every possible stimulative factor in making ads, such as sound, light, colours, cartoon films and human performance. for instance, to advertise a certain food, advertisers will ask an actor or actress to sit at a table and devour the seemingly delicious food while they fime him or her.

更多句型:

to take … as an example,

one example is…,

another example is…,

for example

技巧二、做比较

方法:写完一个要点,比较与之相似的;又写完一个要点,再比较与之相反的;

世界上没有同样的指纹,没有相同的树叶,文章亦同,只有通过比较,你才会发现二者的相同点(through comparison)和不同点(through contrast)。

下面是一些短语:

相似的比较: in comparison, likewise, similarly, in the same manner

相反的比较: on the other hand, conversely, whereas, while, instead, nevertheless, in contrast, on the contrary, compared with …, …

技巧三、换一种语言表达

换言之,没话说了,可以换一句话再说,让你的文章在多一些字,或者文邹邹地说,是让读者更充分的理解你的观点。 实际就是重复重复再重复!

下面的句子实际上就三个字:

i love you! i am enthusiastic about you. that is to say, i love you. i am wild about you. in other words, i have fallen in love with you.

或者上面我们举过的例子: i cannot bear it. 可以用短语表达:i cannot put up with it. 因此可以这样说:i cannot bear it. that is to say, i cannot put up with it or i am fed up with it.

更多短语: in more difficult language, in simpler words, put it more simply

高考英语作文的写作技巧

一、长短句原则

工作还得一张一驰呢,老让读者读长句,累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子,相反,却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末,也可以揭示主题:

Asa creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet theprimary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectualneed of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

如此可见,长短句结合,抑扬顿挫,岂不爽哉?牢记!

强烈建议:在文章第一段(开头用一长一短,且先长后短;在文章主体部分,要先用一个短句解释主要意思,然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式,定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

二、主题句原则

国有其君,家有其主,文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学,故意把主体隐藏在文章之内,结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句,放在文章的开头(保险型或者结尾,让读者一目了然,必会平安无事!

特别提示:隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!

To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句. Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

三、一二三原则

领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点… 如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”

来判定你的文章是否结构清楚,条理自然。解决方法很简单,只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。

1.first, second, third, last(不推荐,原因:俗)

2.firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐,原因:俗)

3.the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐,原因:俗)

4.in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly (不推荐,原因:俗)

5.to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)

6.to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)

7.first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)

8.most important of all, moreover, finally

9.on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)

10.for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)

四、短语优先原则

写作时,尤其是在考试时,如果使用短语,有两个好处:其一、用短语会使文章增加亮点,如果老师们看到你的文章太简单,看不到一个自己不认识的短语,必然会看你低一等。相反,如果发现亮点—精彩的短语,那么你的文章定会得高分了。其二、关键时刻思维短路,只有凑字数,怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如:

I cannot bear it.

可以用短语表达:I cannot put up with it.

I want it.

可以用短语表达:I am looking forward to it.

这样字数明显增加,表达也更准确。

五、多实少虚原则

原因很简单,写文章还是应该写一些实际的东西,不要空话连篇。这就要求一定要多用实词,少用虚词。我这里所说的虚词就是指那些比较大的词。比如我们说一个很好的时候,不应该之说nice这样空洞的词,应该使用一些诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之类的形象词。再比如:

走出房间,general的词是:walk out of the room

但是小偷走出房间应该说:slip out of the room

小姐走出房间应该说:sail out of the room

小孩走出房间应该说:dance out of the room

老人走出房间应该说:stagger out of the room

所以多用实词,少用虚词,文章将会大放异彩!

六、多变句式原则

1.加法(串联)

都希望写下很长的句子,像个老外似的,可就是怕写错,怎么办,最保险的写长句的方法就是这些,可以在任何句子之间加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后关系或者并列关系。比如说:

I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.

如果是二者并列的,我们可以用一个超级句式:

Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.

其它的短语可以用:

besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2.转折(拐弯抹角)

批评某人缺点的时候,我们总习惯先拐弯抹角说说他的优点,然后转入正题,再说缺点,这种方式虽然阴险了点,可毕竟还比较容易让人接受。所以呢,我们说话的时候,只要在要点之前先来点废话,注意二者之间用个专这次就够了。

The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition. The coat was thin, but it was warm. 更多的短语: despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding

3.因果(so, so, so)

昨天在街上我看到了一个女孩,然后我主动搭讪,然后我们去咖啡厅,然后我们 认识了,然后我们成为了朋友…可见,讲故事的时候我们总要追求先后顺序,先 什么,后什么,所以然后这个词就变得很常见了。其实这个词表示的是先后或因果关系! The snow began to fall, so we went home. 更多短语: then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4.失衡句(头重脚轻,或者头轻脚重)

有些人脑袋大,身体小,或者有些人脑袋小,身体大,虽然我们不希望长成这个 样子,可如果真的是这样了,也就必然会吸引别人的注意力。文章中如果出现这 样的句子, 就更会让考官看到你的句子与众不同。 其实就是主语从句, 表语从句, 宾语从句的变形。 举例:This is what I can do. Whether he can go with us or not is not sure. 同样主语、宾语、表语可以改成如下的复杂成分: When to go, Why he goes away…

5.附加(多此一举)

如果有了老婆,总会遇到这样的情况,当你再讲某个人的时候,她会插一句说, 我昨天见过他;或者说,就是某某某,如果把老婆的话插入到我们的话里面,那 就是定语从句和同位语从句或者是插入语。 The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine. I don’t enjoy that book you are reading. Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.

其实很简单,同位语--要解释的东西删除后不影响整个句子的构成;定语从句— 借用之前的关键词并且用其重新组成一个句子插入其中,但是 whom or that 关 键词必须要紧跟在先行词之前。

6.排比(排山倒海句)

文学作品中最吸引人的地方莫过于此,如果非要让你的文章更加精彩的话,那么 我希望你引用一个个的排比句, 一个个得对偶句, 一个个的不定式, 一个个地词, 一个个的短语,如此表达将会使文章有排山倒海之势! Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you. Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides. We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (气势恢宏) 要想写出如此气势恢宏的句子非用排比不可!

七、 挑战极限原则

既然是挑战极限,必然是比较难的,但是并非不可攀! 原理:在学生的文章中,很少发现诸如独立主格的句子,其实也很简单,只要花 上 5 分钟的时间看看就可以领会,它就是分词的一种特殊形式,分词要求主语一 致,而独立主格则不然。比如: The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills. Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China. 如果您可一些出这样的句子,不得高分才怪!

高考英语作文实用技巧

(一)掌握技巧:

(1)注意篇章结构,合理布局

开始部分(opening paragraph)——说出文中的要点、核心问题。

正文部分(Body paragraphs)——围绕主题开展叙述、讨论。

结尾部分(concluding paragraphs)——对全文的总结和概括。

要做到全文中心突出、段落之间必须是有机地联系,内容完整、连贯。

前后呼应,祛除与主题无关的内容.

(2)确定主题句

主题句是对全文的概括,是文章的主旨。它能在文章中起到“画龙点睛”的作用。通常主题句出现在一篇文章的`开头,而后,全文对主题句所提出的内容进行解释,扩展。

写主题句应注意以下几点:

①归纳出你要写的文章的几个要点

②提炼出一句具有概括性的话

③主题句应具有可读性,抓注吸引读者。

(二)巧用连接词

要想使文章有整体性、连贯性,就要学会正确使用连接词

表示罗列增加

表示转折关系

表示条件关系

as (so) long as, on condition that, if, unless

表示让步关系

though, although, as, even if, even though, whether …or…, however, whoever, whatever, whichever, wherever, whenever, no matter how (who, what, which, where, when, whom)

表示举例

for example, for instance, such as…, take… for example

篇6:初中英语时态知识点:运用现在进行时常见的几个错误

全文共 826 字

+ 加入清单

1、把动词变成现在分词形式易出错。例:

(1)误:Theyareswiming(swim).

正:Theyareswimming(swim).

(2)误:Jennyisplaiing(play)football.

正:Jennyisplaying(play)football.

解析:A、动词变现在分词可有如下口诀:一般-ing;哑e先去e;重闭单辅先双写;-ie结尾y来替。

B、动词现在分词的变化规则要与名词变复数、动词变现单三等规则区分开来。

2、谓语部分的构成不完整:丢掉be动词,或忘记把动词变成现在分词。例:

(1)误:Look!Twochildrenflying(fly)akiteinthepark.

正:Look!Twochildrenareflying(fly)akiteinthepark.

(2)误:LiMingisntread(notread)abookinbednow.

正:LiMingisntreading(notread)abookinbednow.

解析:现在进行时的谓语部分的构成是"be+现在分词",二者缺一不可,这一点必须要牢记。

3、对动词或动词词组提问时,丢掉代动词doing。例:

Thestudentsaresingingintheroom.(对划线部分提问)

→误:Whatarethestudentsintheroom?

→正:Whatarethestudentsdoingintheroom?

解析:现在进行时态中对动作提问可记住此句式"What+be+主语+doing+其它?"或简写为"What......doing......?"句式。

4、现在进行时态的谓语部分是并列结构时,容易忽视第二个以及第二个以后的动词用现在分词形式。例:

孩子们在跑还是在跳?

误:Arethechildrenrunningorjump?

正:Arethechildrenrunningorjumping?

解析:or连接的是两个并列成分,动词形式须一致。

[误]Wegottothetopofthemountainindaybreak.

[正]Wegottothetopofthemountainatdaybreak.

[析]at用于具体时刻之前,如:sunrise,midday,noon,sunset,midnight,night.

[误]Don’tsleepatdaytime

[正]Don’tsleepindaytime.

[析]in要用于较长的一段时间之内,如:inthemorning/afternoon,或intheweek/month/year.或inspring/supper/autumn/winter等等。

[误]WevisitedtheoldmaninSundayafternoon.

[正]WevisitedtheoldmanonSundayafternoon.

[析]inthemorning,intheafternoon如果在这两个短语中加入任何修饰词其前面的介词都要改为on,如:onacoldmorning,onthemorningofJuly14th

[误]Hebecameawritterathistwenties

[正]Hebecameawritterinhistwenties

[析]这句话应译为:他在20多岁时就成了作家。在某人的一段生活时间段中要用介词in来表示,而在具体岁数时用at来表示。

[误]HewenttoNewYorktofindajobinsixteenyearsold.

[正]HewenttoNewYorktofindajobatsixteen.

[析]在具体年岁前用at,如:attheageof12,atyourage,等等。

[误]Wewenttoswimintheriverinaveryhotday.

[正]Wewenttoswimintheriveronaveryhotday.

[析]具体某一天要用介词on,又如:onNewYear‘sDay

[误]I’mlookingforwardtoseeingyouonChristmas.

[正]I’mlookingforwardtoseeingyouatChristmas.

[析]在节日的当天用on,而全部节日期间用at,Christmas是圣诞节期间,一般要有两周或更长的时间。

[误]Ihaven’tseeyouduringthesummerholidays.

[正]Ihaven’tseenyousincethebeginningofthesummerholidays.

[析]during表示在某一段时间之内,所以一般不与完成时搭配,如:Ivisitedalotofmuseumsduringtheholiday.而for表示一段时间,可以用于完成时,如:Ihaven‘tseeyouforalongtime.而through用来表示时间时则为“整整,全部的时间”。如:Itrainedthroughthenight.而since则是表达主句动作的起始时间,一般要与完成时连用。

[误]Atenteringtheclassroom,Iheardthegoodnews.

[正]Onenteringtheclassroom,Iheardthegoodnews.

[析]On加动名词表示“一……就”。本句的译文应是:我一进入教室就听见这个好消息了。又如:onhearing…一听见,onarrival一到达就……(on表示动作的名词)

[误]Inthebeginningofthebook,therearesomeinterestingstories.

[正]Atthebeginningofthebook,therearesomeinterestingstories.

[析]atthebegining与attheend都是指某事物的开始与结束部分,均不指时间范围,而inthebeginning则是指开始一段时间。intheend=atlast是指“最终,终于”之意。

[误]Tilltheendofnextweek.Iwillhavefinishedthiswork.

[正]Bytheendofnextweek.Iwillhavefinishedthiswork.

[析]by引起的时间状语表示了动作的截止点,其意思为“不迟于某一时刻将工作做完”,所以主句一般是完成时态。当然可以有将来时态,如:I‘llbetherebyfiveo’clock.而till则表达其一动作一直持续到某一时刻,但句中的动词一定要用持续性动词,而瞬间的截止性动词应用其否定句式,如:Iwon‘tfinishthisworktill(until)nextweekend.

[误]HecametoLondonbeforelastweekend.

[正]HehadcometoLondonbeforelastweekend.

[正]HecametoLondontwoweeksago.

[析]before一般要与完成时连用,而ago则与一般过去时连用。

[误]IhavestudiedEnglishforthreeyearsginceIhadcomehere.

[正]IhavestudiedEnglishforthreeyearssinceIcamehere.

[析]since用来表达主句动作的开始时间,所以其引出的从句中应为过去时,而不能用完成时态

[误]Icanhelpyourepairthisbike.Youwillgetitaftertwohours.

[正]Icanhelpyourepairthisbike.Youwillgetitintwohours.

[析]中文经常讲两小时之后来取,两天内会修好,而这个介词在英文中要用in而不要用after.其原因有二,①after多用于过去时,如:IarrivedinNewYork.Afterthreedays,Ifoundajobinthebank.②after加时间是表达一个不确定的时间范围,如:afterthreedays,即三天之后的哪一天都可以。所以在许诺若干时间内会完成某事时,一定要用介词in.

[误]Threedaysafterhedied.

[正]Afterthreedayshedied.

[正]Threedayslaterhedied.

[析]after与later都可以用来表达一段时间之后,但它们所处的位置不同,after在时间词前,而later在时间词后。

[误]Shehidherselfafterthetree.

[正]Shehidherselfbehindthetree.

[析]after多用来表达某动作之后,所以有的语法书中称它为动态介词,如:Irunafterhim.Afterfinishingmyhomework,Iwenttoseeafilm.而behind则多用于静态事物之后。

[误]Thereisabeautifulbirdonthetree.

[正]Thereisabeautifulbirdinthetree.

[析]树上长出的果实,树叶要用on,而其他外来的人、物体均要用inthetree.
