專八改錯:五大類常考題型
主謂一致
1. Selling newspapers not only makes some money but also give us some working experience during the summer vacation.
2. To deliver newspapers are a tiring job.3. It is he who study very hard.4. The rest of the trees was cut down.5. The day we have been looking forward to having come at last.6. The number of the guests invited to the party are 100.7. The wounded in the earthquake was sent to the hospital.8. Tom, as well as his children, are to visit Beijing this summer.9. Either of the sides of the street are lined with the tall trees.10. Here “you” are used as a noun.
【答案與解析】1. give改為gives。makes和gives為平行結構,作并列謂語。2. are改為is。不定式、動名詞、主語從句作主語要看作為一個整體,動詞用單數形式。3. study改為studies。強調主語時,謂語動詞應保持變強調句以前的狀態。4. was改為were。rest指的是可數名詞的復數形式,謂語動詞用復數形式。5. having改為has。主句的主語是The day,后面缺少謂語動詞。6. are改為is。the number of 表示“……數目”。謂語動詞用單數形式。7. was改為were。the wounded表示“傷員們”時,是復數概念。8. are改為is。主語為Tom,as well as結構重心在前一個名詞,謂語動詞與前一個名詞保持一致。9. are改為is。either后面的動詞用單數形式。10. are改為is。you用作專有名詞,看作單數。
代詞類錯誤
1. The Greens tried his best to help me.
2. I won’t forget the gift you sent I on my birthday.
3. His parents went to New York last year, and none of them wrote letters to him.
4. Would you like any coffee?
5. There is hardly nothing worth listening to in his talk.
6. He made the least mistakes in the English examination.
7. The dog is always loyal to it’s owner.
8. — Is anyone here? — Yes, all are here.
9. My glasses are missing, and I am looking for it.
10. If you keep still, you can sit at every end of the boat.
【答案與解析】
1. his改為their。the Greens指的是“格林一家”,代詞應用their。
2. I 改為me。人稱代詞me作賓語,要用賓格。
3. none改為neither。parents是“父母二人”。
4. any 改為some。表示邀請時,疑問句需用 some。
5. nothing 改為 anything。因為 hardly是“幾乎不”的意思,已有否定含義。
6. least 改為fewest。mistake為可數名詞。
7. it’s 改為its。代詞“它的”正確形式是:its。
8. anyone 改為 everyone。Is everyone here? 表示“所有的人都到了嗎?”,而Is anyone here? 則表示“是否有人來了?”,意義是不一樣的。
9. it 改為 them。glasses是復數意義名詞,用 them或they代替。
10. every 改為 either。either表示“兩者中的任意一個”。船只有兩頭,故用either。
連詞類錯誤
1. It didn’t matter that I would win the match or not.2. That he is looking for is a dictionary.3. Many people can quickly get help from a doctor since they are ill.4. If you can pass the test is up to you.5. If we will hold the party in the open air depends on the weather.6. I live in Beijing, where has a long history.7. We still don’t know if or not they have arrived at Shanghai by plane.8. It is the tallest tower which can be seen far away.9. The person about who we just talked is my maths teacher.10. Yesterday we were having our dinner while the telephone rang.11. But, there are still some countries where people have not enough to feed on.12. It is said, he has left for Germany.13. I doubt that he is a spy.14. I don’t doubt whether you have told the truth.15. He has no money and he has much knowledge.
【答案與解析】1. that 改為whether。2. That 改為What。主語從句缺少賓語,應用what引導。3. since 改為when或if。因為后面是一個條件或時間狀語從句。4. If 改為Whether。主語從句不能用If引導。5. If改為Whether。主語從句要用whether引導。6. where 改為which。定語從句缺少主語。7. if 改為whether。whether or not為固定用法。8. which 改為that。定語從句的先行詞tower被最高級tallest修飾。9. who 改為whom。介詞后關系代詞指人時只能用whom。10. while 改為when。when作并列連詞,表示“這時候”,不能用while代替。11. But改為However。注意后面的逗號。此處只能用連接副詞,不能用連詞。12. It改為As。這是一個由as引導的定語從句。不要與It is said that…主語從句混淆了。13. that 改為 whether。如動詞doubt為肯定式,后面的賓語從句用 whether引導。14. whether 改為 that。如 動詞doubt為否定式,后面的賓語從句用 that引導。15. and改為but。表轉折關系。
