公共英語(PETS)二級改錯題常見錯誤匯總

常見錯誤
    1、名詞錯誤。名詞單、復(fù)數(shù)用錯,可數(shù)與不可數(shù)名詞的混用。
    例如:
    ①We study quite a few subject, such as maths, Chinese, English and physics.?
    A few后面應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù),所以subject改為subjects.
    ②They were eager to know everything about China and asked me lots of question.
    Question為可數(shù)名詞,lots of后面是復(fù)數(shù)形式,所以question改為questions
    ③I hope that you two could come and visit us some times soon.
    “Times”表示次數(shù)時是可數(shù)名詞,表示時間概念時是不可數(shù)名詞,根據(jù)句意times應(yīng)改為time.
    2、時態(tài)錯誤
    在一篇結(jié)構(gòu)完整、語義連續(xù)的短文中,時態(tài)的使用也應(yīng)該連貫一致,但是英語表示時間時,主句和從句時態(tài)可能不一致,卻仍表明完整正確的意思。這就要求考生準(zhǔn)確判斷句中動作的時態(tài),培養(yǎng)對英語時態(tài)的敏感度。?
    例如:
    ①He can't remember what he once knows.
    主句用的是一般現(xiàn)在時,賓語從句中有once(從前)作為明顯的時間狀語,因而從句中動詞應(yīng)用過去時knew.
    ②It was kind of them to meet me at the railway station and drove me to their home.
    “and”兩邊應(yīng)該是平行的,“and”前面是動詞原形meet,“and”后面應(yīng)該也用動詞原形,所以將drove改為drive.
    3、語態(tài)錯誤
    在PETS2短文改錯題中最常見的語態(tài)錯誤是被動語態(tài)被誤用為主動語態(tài)。因為漢語表達習(xí)慣上有時不加“被”字也能表示被動,因而造成考生對被動語態(tài)不敏感。另外,不及物動詞不能攜帶賓語,因而也就沒有被動語態(tài)。?
    例如:
    She was very angry at not telling the truth when she listened to the account.
    意思是:當(dāng)她聽這個敘述的時候,她很生氣沒有被告知真相。這里“她”是被告訴的對象,因而telling應(yīng)改為being told.
    4、虛擬語氣錯誤
    虛擬語氣的使用錯誤在綜合改錯題中主要表現(xiàn)為主句和從句的語氣不協(xié)調(diào)。
    例如: We suggest that Henry is told about his condition as soon as possible.
    句中動詞suggest之后的從句應(yīng)用虛擬語氣,故“is”應(yīng)改為“be”或“should be”。類似的動詞還有propose/ insist/order等等。
    5、非謂語動詞的錯用
    例如:
    ①Play football not only makes me grow up…?
    Play football是動詞,不能做主語,應(yīng)將其改為Playing football.
    ②I want to thank you again for have me in your home for the summer holidays.?
    介詞后面應(yīng)跟名詞,所以for have應(yīng)改為for having.
    ③I'd like to your pen friend, and get to know more about your country.?
    would like to后面應(yīng)加to do,your pen friend是名詞短語,不能直接放在would like to后面,所以應(yīng)改為to be your pen friend.
    6、形容詞副詞混用
    PETS2短文改錯常出現(xiàn)需形容詞的地方用了副詞或需要用副詞的地方用了形容詞。這類錯誤主要考較不常見的形容詞、副詞的比較級形式。一般來講,考生不難掌握。
    例如:
    ① It's terrible hot here.采集者退散
    Terrible是形容詞,不能修飾形容詞,應(yīng)將其改為terribly.
    ② Culture is essentially to our humanness.
    Essentially—essential.Culture is后面應(yīng)該有一個表語,但是essentially是副詞不能做表語,因此改成essential.
    7、介詞錯誤
    主要是介詞的多余或缺失、錯用。這一部分需要平時多多積累來弄清常用介詞的搭配。
    例如:采集者退散
    ① In an addition, he still went to see a movie.
    In addition是固定搭配,所以應(yīng)將In an addition改為In addition.
    ② This has probably been the case in quite a while.
    In——for.Has been是現(xiàn)在完成時的表達方式。因此與之相對應(yīng)的時間狀語就應(yīng)該是for a quite a while,for表示持續(xù)的—段時間。
