正誤辨析 ?
[誤] The stories in that book was written many years ago? ?
[正] The stories in that book were written many years ago. ?
[析]作主語的名詞、代詞或不定式、動名詞,它們往往要帶有修飾詞,這些詞可能是形容詞,也可能是短語,但謂語動詞還是要取決于這個主語的數(shù),要記住的是一個名詞不可能在同一句中作兩個不同的語法成份,如: book 作了 of 的介詞賓語則不可能再作主語了。?
[誤] To read many books are good for you? ?
[正] To read many books is good for you? ?
[析] 不定式作主語應該看作單數(shù)主語。 ?
[誤] What he said are right? ?
[正] What he said is right? ?
[析] 從句作主語一定要按單數(shù)主語看待。 ?
[正] The rich is not always happy? ?
[誤] The rich are not always happy? ?
[析] 形容詞+定冠詞表示一類人,謂語動詞應用復數(shù),如: The young are very interested in study and sports??
[誤] The school master and writer are coming? ?
[正] The school master and writer is coming? ?
[析] 本句應譯為:校長兼作家就要來了。而 The school master and the writer are coming? 則要譯為:校長和一個作家要來了。在英語表達法中確實有 The girl and boy are playing on the grass? 這應譯為:一個女孩,一個男孩在操場上玩。因為不可能這樣兩個概念作用在一個人身上。又如: the husband and wife? 夫妻二人。?
[誤] You or she go to get some water for us? ?
[正] You or she goes to get some water for us? ?
[析] 由 or 連接的兩個主語應以離謂語動詞近的那一個計算其數(shù)。這樣的用法還有 either … or,neither … nor, not only … but also 也有人稱作"就近原則"。?
[誤] The teacher with a lot of students come into the classroom??
[正] The teacher with a lot of students comes into the classroom??
[析] 真正的主語是 the teacher, 而 with 短語是伴隨狀態(tài),不影響主語的數(shù)。?
[誤] My glasses is broken? ?
[正] My glasses are broken? ?
[誤] This pair of glasses are good? ?
[正] This pair of glasses is good? ?
[誤] These kinds of butter is good.?
[正] These kinds of butter are good??
[析] 英語中有些名詞只有復數(shù)形式,如: glasses 眼鏡, shorts 短褲等。如沒有量詞在前時,要用復數(shù)謂語動詞,但有了量詞之后則要按量詞的單復數(shù)計算。?
[誤] One of the boys are going to take part in the match? ?
[正] One of the boys is going to take part in the match? ?
[析] One of 結構應以 one 來計算主語的數(shù)。 ?
[誤] Half of the work are done? ?
[正] Half of the work is done? ?
[誤] Half of the books is read? ?
[正] Half of the books are read? ?
[析] 在小于1的數(shù)量詞作主語時,如: 2 3 ,80%,0.35… + of +名詞,這時主語的數(shù)應按 of 后面的名詞計算。如果名詞是不可數(shù)名詞或可數(shù)名詞單數(shù),則謂語動詞要用單數(shù),如名詞是復數(shù)則要用復數(shù)謂語動詞。?
[誤] Each sides are full of trees? ?
[正] Each side is full of trees? ?
[誤] Both side is full of trees? ?
[正] Both sides are full of trees? ?
[析] each, either 其后都要加單數(shù)名詞,而 both 后要加復數(shù)名詞。 如: each, either, another, little, a little, much等作主語時,謂語動詞全部要用單數(shù)形式。?
[誤] The boys each has an apple? ?
[正] The boys each have an apple? ?
[析] each 作同位語時,不影響句子的主語。?
[誤] Everyone of us has a ticket for the concert? ?
[正] Every one of us has a ticket for the concert? ?
[析] everyone, someone, everybody … 在作主語時都不能加 of 結構。
[誤] Girls like dancing very much, but few likes playing football? ?
[正] Girls like dancing very much, but few like playing football??
[析] few 雖然含意上是"幾乎沒有",但作主語時仍要當作復數(shù)。?
[誤] The number of the workers in that factory are two hundred??
[正] The number of the workers in that factory is two hundred??
[析] the number of 意為:某某的數(shù)字是…… 如: the number of students 學生人數(shù), the number of players 運動員人數(shù)。不論數(shù)字如何都應看作單數(shù)。而 a number of 與 many 意思相同,其后加可數(shù)名詞復數(shù),謂語動詞用復數(shù)形式。如: A number of students are playing on the grass??
[誤] The rest of the students is here? ?
[正] The rest of the students are here? ?
[誤] The rest of the work are done? ?
[正] The rest of the work is done? ?
[析] the rest of 的用法與2/3,一半,80%+ of 的結構一致, of 后面為可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)時用復數(shù)謂語動詞,為不可數(shù)名詞或可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)時用單數(shù)謂語動詞。這樣用法還有 lots of, a lot of, plenty of。?
[誤] The news in today's newspaper are not bad? ?
[正] The news in today's newspaper is not bad? ?
[析] 有些以 s 結尾的名詞要用作不可數(shù)名詞,它們是:news, physics, mathematics, thanks, …?
[誤] The Chinese is kind and friendly? ?
[正] The Chinese are kind and friendly? ?
[析] Chinese 作為中文來講是單數(shù)名詞,但作為中國人講是單復同形的名詞。如: one Chinese, two Chinese … 而 The Chinese = The people of China 要用復數(shù)謂語動詞。
[誤] This dictionary is too expensive for me? Ten dollars are a big sum for me
[正] This dictionary is too expensive for me? Ten dollars is a big sum for me
[析] 表示一段時間,一筆金錢,一段距離,都應看作單數(shù)名詞。?
[誤] Who are going to take part in our football match? ?
[正] Who is going to take part in our football match? ?
[析] 用 who 提問時,習慣上用單數(shù)謂語動詞,但 which 則要視其情況而定,如: which are better these shoeses or those shoes? 又如: which is better this one or that one?
[誤] What a hot weather it is! ?
[誤] How hot the weather it is! ?
[正] What hot weather it is! ?
[正] How hot the weather is! ?
[析] 感嘆句是用來表達說話人的喜怒哀樂的感情。它由 what 與 how 作句子的開始,判定是用 what 還是用 how 的最好辦法是將它們換為陳述句,比如: What the hot weather it is! 應轉換為: It is the hot weather? 那么句子的起點是單詞 it。 再來看感嘆句中 it 前有不可數(shù)名詞 weather, 則只能用 what。再看第二句 How hot the weather is! 轉為陳述句時為: The weather is hot?這時句子的開始單詞為 the weather, 再來看感嘆句在 the weather 前只有形容詞,所以應用 how。至于是用 what a 還是 what 要看名詞的具體情況而定,單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞加 what a 其余的加用 what。?
[誤] We have to sing this, have we? ?
[誤] We have to sing this, haven't we? ?
[正] We have to sing this, don't we??

?Let's go home, shall we?
Let us go home, will you??
She had to leave, didn't she??
Do your homework at once, will you??
There is not much good news in today's newspaper, is there??
Neither of them are right, are they??
I think he will come to the party won't he??
think 后的賓語從句,與其他賓語從句不一樣,在初中只有這樣一個較特殊的詞。這樣的句子的反意疑問句的主語要用賓語從句中的主語,其助動詞要用賓語從句的助動詞,而肯定還是否定要看主句謂語動詞而定,如: I don't think he is coming to our party, is he??
[誤] I want to know where does he live? ?
[正] I want to know where he lives? ?
[析] 賓語從句中一律要用陳述語序,而不用疑問語序。?
[誤] - I haven't got a ticket for the football match??
- Nor I have? ?
[正] - I haven't got a ticket for the football match??
- Nor (Neither) have I? ?
[析] nor, neither 用在簡答否定句中時要采用倒裝語序。在肯定句的簡答句中則要用so, 如: I do my homework very quickly, So does Mary??
[誤] Look! Here the bus comes! ?
[正] Look! Here comes the bus! ?
[誤] Look! Here comes he! ?
[正] Look! Here he comes? ?
[析] 在 there, here 打頭的句子中,如果主語是名詞,則要采用倒裝語序;如果是人稱代詞則用一般語序。?
[誤] Do you want Mary to go to the cinema with us??
No, I don't hope so? ?
[正] Do you want Mary to go to the cinema with us??
No, I hope not? ?
[析] 我不這樣想,可用 I don't think so? 但 hope 的否定簡答句只能用 I hope not?這是習慣用法。但這兩個詞的肯定簡答句形是一樣的,如: I think so. I hope so??
[誤] That is difficult for us to learn English well? ?
[正] It is difficult for us to learn English well? ?
[析] It 這里的語法作用是形式主語,而真正的主語是后面的不定式。形式主語和形式賓語都要用 it 而不能用 that, 如: I think it difficult to learn English well? it 在這句中是 think 的形式賓語。??
