The
24、number of+名词的复数,后面谓语动词用单数; a number of+名词的复数,后面的谓语动词用复数; a huge amount of+不可数名词,后面谓语动词用单数。 A significant number of young people has been leaving the countryside for urban areas. 错误:谓语动词应该用复数。 A significant number of young people have been leaving the countryside for urban areas. 大量的年轻人已经离开郊区到城市。 五 .

31、是否喜欢,我们的家庭决定我们的生活,让我们成为现在的自己。 6. 系动词后面接表语,构成主语 +系动词 +表语的基本句型,有一些实义动词也可以做半系动词。判断是否是半系动词主要看其后面是否可以跟形容词作表语,如果可以跟形容词,一般都是半系动词。比如 seem、 look、 get、 stay 和 remain 等等。 副词不可以作表语,但是形容词却可以。 Cycling is beneficially to our health. 错误: beneficially 是副词,不能做表语。 Cycling is beneficial to our health. 骑车对我们健康有益。 系动词一般不

37、ters higher education at some tine in their lives. 错误:在这里 population是人们的意思,为复数含义,所以谓语动词应该用复数。 In most developed countries a high proportion of the population now enter higher education at some tine in their lives. 在大部分的发达国家,现在很大比例的人都会在他们人生的某个阶段开始接受高等教育。 2. 冠词(冠词分为不定冠词 a/an,和定冠词 the) 有一些形容词前面常加冠词(比如
38、only, very 恰好 和 same 等) People with same experience should be paid same. 错误: same 前面要加 the。 People with the same experience should be paid same. 经验相同的人工资应该相同。 序数词和形容词最高级前加定冠词。 1) Tourism has become the top earner of foreign currency for many countries since late twentieth century. 错误: twentieth 这个序数

40、. 纸烟是吸食烟草 最普遍的方式。 unique, university, union 和 European 等词的第一音节为辅音 ju:,不定冠词应该用 a;而hour 和 honour 等词的第一音节为元音,因此要用不定冠词 an。 An university is an institution where students study for degrees. University 前面不能加 an。 A university is an institution where students study for degrees. 大学是学生通过学习获得学位的地方。 3. 介词 介词后面不
41、能跟句子,注意其与连词的区别。比较容易被误认为是连词的介词或者介词短语有 despite, in spite of, during 和 because of 等。 Many smokers are unwilling to cease smoking despite they have knowledge of ill health effects. 错误: despite 是介词,后面不能跟句子。 Many smokers are unwilling to cease smoking despite their knowledge of ill health effects. 很多抽烟者不愿
42、意停止抽烟,尽管他们知道这有害健康。 to 在句子中可能是介词(需要加名词或者具有名词性质的内容),也可能是动词不定式符号。要根据具体情况注意区别。譬如说,在 contribute to, lead to, pay attention to 和 give rise to 等词组中, to 都是介词。 Public disorder can lead to damage a countrys economy. 错误: to 在这里是介词,后面不能跟动词。 Public disorder can lead to a countrys economic crisis. 社会的无秩序状态可能导致一个国

44、mercial and cultural values. 传统的建筑有时候是受人喜爱的,因为一个简单的原因 它们有经济和文化的价值。 有些介词的用法是固定的,对于这样的情况,只能记忆。 Most children do not feel it necessary to conform with rules. 错误: conform 一般和 to 连用。 Most children do not feel it necessary to conform to rules. 大部分小孩不觉得有遵守规则的必要。 4. 动词和非谓语动词 不定式短语可以做后置定语修饰一个名词或者代词,常和这个名词或者代
45、词在逻辑上形成动宾的关系,此时如果不定式短语中的动词是不及物动词,需要加上相应的介词。 The rise of single parenthood is difficult for any society to deal. 错误: to deal修饰 the rise of single parenthood,和后者形成动宾关系必须加个介词 with。 The rise of single parenthood is difficult for any society to deal with. 单身父母的增多对于任何社会来说都是难以解决的问题。 有些动词加不定式作宾语或宾语补足语,如 wan
46、t, except, encourage, advise, persuade, cause, urge 活 force 等。 The aim of this campaign is to encourage young people be responsible for their driving. 错误: encourage sb. to so sth.是固定搭配,原句缺不定式符号 to。 The aim of this campaign is to encourage young people be responsible for their driving. 这个活动的目的是鼓励年轻人对
47、他们的驾驶负责。 5. 代词 主格 宾格 形容词性物主代词 名词性物主代词 I me my mine you you your yours he him his his she her her hers it it its its we us our ours they them their theirs Asking advice from your family is better than overcoming a problem ourselves. 错误:前面是 your family,后面是 ourselves 不对应。 Asking advice from your family is better than overcoming a problem yourself. 征求你家人的意见比你自己解决问题要好。 6. 分词(分词具有形容词的性质) 分词有时候放在名词后面作定语,可以看做是定语从句的作用 例: Tell the children playing outside not to make too much noise. = Tell the children who are playing
