英语写作常见错误分析

1、英语写作中常见错误分析英语写作中常见错误分析5种用词错误；6种常见句子错误；常见语法错误；句子改错练习；5种用词错误1.误解词义导致用词错误写作时，选用自己没有完全掌握词义或用法的单词、组词造句，是造成用词错误的原因之一如： （1） The young man always puts on leather shoes （2） Both salt and sugar are easy to melt in hot water. （3） It is uneasy for the children to do such a thing1）The young man always wears leat

2、her shoes（put on表示穿的动作，不表示穿着的状态，而此句表达的意思是“穿着”，而不是“穿上”。） （2）Both salt and Sugar are easy to dissolve In hot water（melt常指物体经加热后熔化或者易溶物质受热溶化，不指溶质在溶剂中溶解。） （3） It is difficult for the children to do such a thing。（uneasy是由前缀un+词根easy构成，在古英语中有“不容易”的意思。但在现代英语中， uneasy已不表示easy的反义“不容易”了。而是“心神不安”的意思 ） 2. 不符合英语

3、习惯导致的用词错误 （1） We all hope him to get the first prize. （2） Mr. Smith denied my invitation to a dinner party. （3）Who is responsible for this department？ （4） She will probably be elected woman chairman.1）We all expect him to get the first prize（hope的用法只有hope to do sth或hopethat从句结构，却不能说hope sb， to do st

4、h。 ） （2）MrSmith declined my invitation to a dinner party。（deny可作“拒绝接受”讲，不过当表示“拒绝接受邀请”时，英语习惯一般不用deny an invitation） （3）Who is in charge of this department？（responsible for通常指对某件事的后果负责。如果指时某一方面的工作或某一部门的工作负责，就不能用be responsible for。） （4）She will probably be elected chairwoman（woman chairman，是一个词语搭配问题。一般

5、来说。在表示职业的名词前加上man或woman可以区别男女: a woman doctor, a woman writer ,但是“女主席”、女议长”，则不能用woman作定语,另外，英语中某些固定搭配，决不可以随便改变其结构或任意添加、省略其中的某些成分，否则就会造成不符合惯用表达的用词错误。）3.大词小词滥用大学英语作文题一般限于生活、常识方面的内容所以，在具体写作中，学生应尽量避免使用大词尤其生僻的词。用好大词，并使其与整篇作文相融合是很难的。弄不好就会弄巧成拙，事倍功半。例： （1） I comprehended his statement （2） While we are eatin

6、g breakfast, he engaged in an animated conversation （3）He will come in the event that it stops raining. （4）Chongqing people are enthusiastic and uninhibited.（1） I understood what he said（2）While eating breakfast，we have a lovely talk（3）He will come if it stops raining（4）Chongqing people are enthusia

7、stic and open. 建议把有限的时间用于对核心词汇的掌握努力做到熟练运用这些最常用的词充分表达自己的思想。4.误用词性典型的这类错误有：错把名词当动词用，形容词、副词误用，如： （l） My teacher adviced me not to go out alone at night。 （2） She doesnt aware of the importance of the study of English. （3）Many people present at the meeting. （4） To do this beyond my power （5）This road goe

8、s straightly from our school to the center of the city.以上5句错例可改正如下：（1） My teacher advised me not to go out alone at night（2） She isnt aware of the importance of the study of English.(3) Many people were present at the meeting. (4) To do this is beyond my power.(5) This road goes straight from our sc

9、hool to the center of the city.英语中有许多形容词具有动作含义，当它们作表语时，千万不要忘了加连系动词，常见的这类形容词 absent， abundant， active， accurate， afraid， alive， asleep， awake， aware， available， backward， busy， downward，faithful，feasible，fond，keen，present，late，responsible，worried，concerned，interested等。5.汉语思维导致的用词错误在写作过程中，学生由于对英、汉两种语言

10、、文化间的差异，以及不同文化背景所产生的不同思维方式导致用词错误。1） Excessive smoking will injure your body. 2） Through inquiry， we learn that he was elected to a new leading post， 3） We are going to visit the exhibition next week 4） In the basketball game, our team won the British team. 5）We all enjoy public medical care.（1）Exces

11、sive smoking will injure your health （2） On inquiry， we learn that he was elected to a new leading post （3） We are going to see the exhibition next week （4） In the basketball game， our team beat the British team， （5）We all enjoy free medical care.6种常见句子错误1.非完整句错误一个意思和结构完整的句子至少有主语和谓语两部分，祈使句除外。若将句子中的某

12、一部分当做一个句子，就会导致非完整句错误。学生在句子的完整性方面常常犯以下错误：1）非独立性从句单独成句非独立性从句指那些由关系代词（who，whom，whose，which，what，that）、关系副词（when，where，how）或从属连ii after，before。although，as、if， because、until。unless等）引导的句子。这些句子只能在主句中起一个句子成分的作用，因而不能脱离主句而独立存在。一旦脱离主句就会出现非完整句错误。如： We must try hard to learn English well. Because It will be ver

13、y useful in our future work We must try hard to learn English well，because It will be very useful in our future work 这种错句的修改只要根据具体情况把从句归属到主句中去就可以了，当然标点和大小写需要做相应调整.2) 现在分词独立成句现在分词短语以及它的独立主格结构在句子中往往充当状语，表示原因、目的、结果、伴随状况等。如： They got up early that morning. Hoping to catch up the 630 train to Hong Kong T

14、hey got up early that morning， hoping to catch up the 630 train to Hong Kong 对于现在分同短语形式的非完整句。最好的办法就是改一下标点和大小写，视语义关系的紧密程度把它并人前面或后面一句，使其充当句子的附属成分。当然也可以加上它的逻辑主语，让它真正独立成句。（3）细节补充独立句 句子的细节补充部分，例如举例、罗列、补充说明等一般是既不含主语也不含谓语的一组词语的罗列，如果以句子的形式出现肯定是错句。It is hard to keep with monthly payments Such as telephone， e

15、lectric， and gas billIt is hard to keep with monthly payments， such as telephone， electric， and gas bill与汉语这种讲究“意合”的语言不同，英语严格要求“形合”，即每一个句子都要有自己的主、谓语，否则就被视为错句，非完格句。4）无主语句无主语句就是缺少主语的非完整句。如： Tom dreamed of the day that he would have lots of money. And would use it to buy a nice house。 Tom dreamed of th

16、e day that he would have lots of money， and would use it to buy a nice houseWhile sitting In class， she realized she had lost a ring. But happily found it on the floor after class While sitting In class, she realized she had lost a ring But she happily found it on the floor after class. 这种错误的出现也是由于学

17、生受汉语的影响，误以为既然动作是由同一主体发出，前句的主语就可以同样作用于后句，没有必要再重复了。如果是在一个并列句当中，这种做法是正确的，问题就出在又把它写成了独立的句子：这映了部分学生对并列句的掌握不够扎实，同时和其他错句错误一样，没有培养出良好的英语语感也是一个很重要的原因。2. 主动和被动错误在句子写作中，要避免语态的转换，因为语态的转换会不可避免地造成主语的转换：这些转换都会破坏句子连贯性，从而使句子显得拙劣、别扭。如： As soon as the written examination has been finished by the student， he must take

18、the oral examination， As soon as the student has finished the written examination， he must take the oral examination.We climbed to the top of the mountain and a tent was rented for the night.We climbed to the top of the mountain and rented a tent for the night.在英语写作中，尤其是日常写作中，并不提倡使用被动语态，这一点对以英语为母语的人

19、来讲也是一样。但提倡并不等于绝对不能使用被动语态。在某些特定情况下，被动语态的使用还是相当必要的。例如在表达诸如 “据说，据报道”等没有必要指明动作发出者时，“It is said”就比“People say that”或“The mass media reported that”要简洁、地道得多。2. 单句中谓语过多Im come from Anhui, There has many mountains in my hometown.Im a student like singing, playing basketball and I like read. 3.主谓不一致错误。主谓不一致是学

20、生写作中最常见的错误之一。而这一点更多地是一个语法基本功的问题。具体来说以下6点：1）存现句中的主谓一致 存现句中，如果有数个主语并列，动词的数一般与离它最近的那个一致。如： There are a small bed， a wooden table and two old-fashioned chairs in my bedroom There is a small bed， a wooden table and two old-fashioned chairs in my bedroom 但主语如果是几个并列的单数名词，谓语用复数。如： There are a boy， a girl an

21、d a teacher in the classroom2）带修饰浯的主语与谓语一致 当一个主浯后跟以with，as well as，together with, like, rather than， except，but，including，accompanied besides等词语开始的修饰语时，谓语动词的数只与主语本身保持一致。如： John as well as the rest have agreed to come。 John as well as the rest has agreed to come 主语中如果有all of， most of， lots of， some o

22、f等修饰限定语，谓语动词的数应与这些词之后的名词一致: Most of the water in this area are pollutedMost of the water in this area is polluted（3）主谓一致问题中的就近原则 neither.nor，either.or，not onlybut also等平行结构作主语时，谓语动词应与离它最近的那部分主语保持一致， 如： Not only the students but also the teacher have doubts. Not only the students but also the teacher

23、 has doubts.（4）不定代词作主语时的主谓一致 下列不定代词和复合代词作主语时，谓语一律用单数：one，no one，nobody，nothing，anyone，anything, everybody，everyone, someone，something，each，either，neither，etc。如： None of her friends have been to New York None of her friends has been to New York（5）定语从句的主谓一致 定语从句中，关系代词who，that或which后的动词要与该关系代词所指代的先行词在人

24、称和数上保持一致，如： Computer can do many tasks which is impossible to do by hand。 Computer can do many tasks which are impossible to do by hand（6）集合名词作主语时的主谓一致 集合名词以单数形式出现，却常常表达复数的含义。一般来说，当这类名词用来表达整体概念时，后面的动词用单数，而当它们被用来指其组织成员时，谓语就用复数。这类集合名词主要有：audience，family，class，herd，crowd，team，crew等。由于这类词搭配比较复杂，所以在这类词作主

25、语时，学生往往在主谓一致问题上出错。如： My family never intend to have anything to do with business My family never intends to have anything to do with business4. 修饰语问题在修饰语的运用上出现的问题主要是悬垂修饰语。所谓“修饰语悬垂”，就是如果修饰语放在句首。它的修饰对象必须紧跟其后。否则这修饰就失去了“依靠”，而表达意思也会被歪曲，变得模糊不清。纠正这种错误可以有3种方法：对句子结构做必要的改动，使状语和逻辑主语一致：给状语加上一个适当的逻辑主语，使之成为一个独立结构

26、：将状语改成一个从句，如： While talking on the telephone， the chicken Soup boiled over 这句话看上去是“鸡汤”在打电话。修饰语“while talking on the phone”脱离了被修饰语就被“悬”起来了。这种错误也是受到了汉语“意合”的表达方式的影响忘了英语对“形合”的严格要求。While I was talking on the telephone， the chicken soup boiled over Looking out of the window， the grassland stretches as far

27、 as the eye can reach We looking out of the window， the grassland stretches as far as the eve can reach.To swim properly， a course of instruction is necessary.To swim properly，one needs a course of instruction或If one wants to swim properly，a course of instruction is necessary.5. 错用平行结构平行结构要求并列的部分在结构

28、上和意义层次上必须完全相同，如同为形容词、分词、动词、动名词等。若干个平行部分中如果有一个与其他不尽相同，就破坏了平行结构。如： Tom enjoys playing football，swimming and to read novelsTom enjoys playing football，swimming and reading novels.6.代词指代不明确遵循英语写作简洁这一原则，充分利用代词无疑是很必要的。但在代词的使用上必须注意避免指代不明确，如： He was knocked down by a bicycle， but It was not serious.He was k

29、nocked down by a bicycle， but was not seriously hurtHe asked his brother whether he could send the girl homeHe asked his brother to send the girl back home. He asked his brother to allow him to send the girl home.常见语法错误常见语法错误常见语法错误举例：1.Now is golden time for us to attain a fair command of English. (

31、pical family nowadays consists of three to four members. )4.

32、)5.If you try your best to get more aerobic exercise and practice it whenever and wherever possible, we can maintain good physical condition.(指代不清。you 与 we 指代不一致。可改为：If you try wherever possible, you can maintain )6. In my opinion, I think the owner is justified to do so. (in my opinion与I think重复累赘。

33、可改为：I think the owner is 或：In my opinion, the owner is )7.If adopted, we hope the law will resolve the problem.(if adopted的逻辑主语是the law，与句子的主语we不一致，为悬垂分词。可改为：If the law is adopted, we hope 或：If adopted, the law will resolve the problem.) 以上错误如果稍加小心，尚可避免。但下文中的错误则需要格外注意。In modern society, computers ar
