  在英语学习的过程中或多或少都会存在错误,尤其是在英语作文写作中,语法错误不可避免。为此,小编为大家收集整理了关于在英语写作中常见的错误点和改正方法,欢迎阅读。

  英语写作中常见的语法错误

  语法错误具体分类如下:

  1. 主谓关系中人称和数量不一致性(person/number agreement)错误

  由于汉语的动词不受主语的人称和数的影响,英语的谓语动词要和主语保持一致,谓语动词要随着主语而变化。而学生主要用汉语思维,因此他们往往没有习惯去考虑主语是第几人称,是单数还是复数。例如:

  a. A number of students is going to learn a foreign language.

  b. He go to school by bike every day.

  分析:

  a句中a number of +复数名词做主语时,其谓语动词用复数形式。b中 He是第三人称单数,在一般现在时态中谓语动词go应该加es。

  2.时态(Tense)

  高中生在写作中经常在时态方面犯错误。英语时态种类繁多,动词的构成形式随着时态的变化而变化。中文里没有时态区分。动作或动词的时间由跟在动词后的诸如 “着”、“了”、“过”等副词小词来表示,对高中生来说,掌握英语的时态不是很容易。实际上,学习者在头脑里很清楚语法规则,但经常混淆或忘记改变动词的词形。例如:

  a. A baby can cry as soon as it was born.

  b. I spend 50 yuan buying the clothes.

  c. I will not come here if it will rain tomorrow.

  正确的句子:

  a. A baby can cry as soon as it is born.

  b. I spent 50 yuan buying the clothes.

  c. I will not come here if it rains tomorrow.

  分析:第一句是一个常识问题,应该用一般现在时态。第二句“我买这件衣服花了50元”应该是过去时态。第三句主句是一般将来时,从句是一般现在时态。

  3.语态错误

  动词的被动式在英语中比比皆是,学生由于汉语思维的影响,很少考虑到用被动语态(Passive Voice)。虽然中文里也有被动式的含义,但与英语里被动式表达方式完全不同。英语里的被动式要求有助动词be和一个变异的过去分词形式,其中这个助动词带有时态和人称数量信息,中文里需要使用诸如“被”、“使”、“让”等词语,不需要有不规则的动词形式。这对中国的学习者来说就有潜在的困难。例如:

  a. New bicycles must keep inside.

  b. The book has to return at the end of the week.

  c. The food has cooked.

  d. Knife should take away from babies.

  正确的句子:

  a. New bicycles must be kept inside.

  b. The book has to be returned at the end of the week.

  c. The food has been cooked.

  d. Knives should be taken away from babies.

  很明显,这些句法结构己经被确认为未能正确使用英语中的被动式。学生还会犯一些其它方面的错误,其中之一是,常常把英语里没有被动语态的词(组),如 take place, occur, happen, belong to,appear, break out, rise, die等用作被动语态。

  4.固定搭配错误

  有介词短语的搭配,固定词组的搭配,更多的是特殊动词的搭配和用法出现错误最多。很多学习者在记单词的时候,不记搭配和真正用法,错误如下:

  a. He suggested to go there on his bike.

  b. My teacher explained me the text very carefully.

  c. My mother made me to choose the one I liked best.

  正确的句子:

  a. He suggested going there on his bike.

  b. My teacher explained to me the text very carefully.

  c. My mother made me choose the one I liked best.

  据以上的分析,中国学习者的英语应用很大程度上受到其母语的影响,直接翻译,没有记住这些动词的特殊用法。

  5.非谓语动词错误

  由于学生对非谓语动词的概念不清楚,对不定式、分词、动名词的用法不明白,对句子结构分析不正确,常把非谓语动词误用作谓语动词。学生不知道在英语句子中谓语动词只能有一个,如果有另外一个动词出现,这个动词有三种情况:一是并列谓语,但是这时候必须有连词,如and, but等;二是出现在从句里面;三就是以分词形式出现,现在分词和过去分词,还有不定式。现在分词有主动语态和进行时的含义,而过去区分词有被动语态和完成时的含义,不定式有将来时态的意义。例如:

  a. In the museum there are a lot of interesting things look at.

  b. I am looking forward to see you.

  正确的句子:

  a. In the museum there are a lot of interesting things to look at.

  b. I am looking forward to seeing you.

  分析:a句中己有谓语动词there are,用来修饰things,此句缺的是后置定语。b句look forward to是一个固定短语,后面要接动名词。c句要用现在分词作定语,跟所修饰的名词之间是主谓关系,表示动作正在进行,因此用“sleeping”,相当于 “the child who is sleeping"。

  6.冠词错误

  学生在翻译时常会忘了考虑冠词,或者说不重视冠词这个问题,常有多用或少用或错用的弊病。冠词考查分两个方面,一是冠词的残缺或多余,考生要注意关于含有冠词(不含冠词)的用法以及加冠词与不加冠词的区别,如:in charge of与in the charge of, out of question与out of the question的区别。二是冠词the, a, an(不定冠词和定冠词)之间的相互误用。

  英汉名词确有许多共同点,但是也有不少不同点。英语名词有可数与不可数之分,汉语里没有,且一般情况下,名词都可受到数量词的限制。因此,英语写作中,一旦涉及到advice, news, progress, weather, information等少数常用不可数名词时,学生往往会犯错误。不过,在使用英语不可数名词时,又会出现两种情况,一种是绝不可以用a/an或数词来直接修饰,如上述提及的几个名词:另一种情况是,少数不可数名词在被形容词等修饰后,可用a/an等来修饰。如time(时间),rain(雨)。所以我们可以说:We had a wonderful time yesterday. 例如:

  a. The air is the most important thing for our existence.

  b. The driver brought the car to stop. In this way, he avoided an accident.

  c. When sun was setting, he still did not catch any fish.

  正确的句子:

  a. Air is the most important thing for our existence.

  b. The driver brought the car to a stop. In this way, he avoided an accident.

  c. When the sun was setting, he still did not catch any fish.

  7.代词的错误

  代词主要有人称代词、物主代词、关系代词、反身代词、疑问代词、复合疑问代词、指示代词,要注意代词的各人称之间和单复数之间的误用,关系代词 which, that, as之间的误用,关系代词that与疑问代词what之间的误用,关系代词which与关系副词when, where,以及what与how的误用等。例如:

  a. We do not like he.

  b. If you like this books, you can take them away.

  c. His book is different from me.

  d. The population of China is larger than those of Japan.

  正确的句子:

  a. We do not like him.

  b. If you like these books, you can take them away.

  c. His book is different from mine.

  d. The population of China is larger than that of Japan.

  汉语里,人称代词没有主格、宾格和所有格之变,而英语中的人称代词有主格、宾格和所有格之变,而且每格都具有其自身的用途,分别充当主语、宾语和定语等。尤其要注意的是,人称代词充当介词宾语时,也要采用其宾格形式。

  8.连词的错误

  连词主要有两类,即并列连词和从属连词,考查点主要是并列连词(分递进式、转折式、选择式和因果式四种)之间的误用(主要是but与so/and之间的误用),从属连词之间的误用以及并列连词与从属连词之间的误用等。例如:

  a. He had little to eat and a large house to live in.

  b. He had no sooner arrived when he fell ill.

  c. If you go this way, and you will soon see the hospital.

  正确的句子:

  a. He had little to eat but a large house to live in.

  b. He had no sooner arrived than he fell ill.

  c.1f you go this way,you will soon see the hospital.

  9.名词的错误

  名词主要考查单数名词变复数名词,这主要是受东西方文化差异的影响,英语中除了不可数名词和单数名词用单数外,可数名词要用复数形式。另外还有一些特殊形式。例如:

  a. What a beautiful weather we are having today!

  b. Please give my best regard to your parents.

  c. I have got good marks in all my subject.

  正确的句子:

  a. What beautiful weather we are having today!

  b. Please give my best regards to your parents.

  c. I have got good marks in all my subjects.

  10. 在使用情态动词和助动词时产生的错误类型

  这类错误有以下几种情况:① 情态动词后的动词使用过去时态;② 情态动词后的动词加“s”③ 情态动词后的动词加“ing”④”will”后面的“be”动词用“am、“is”或“are ”;⑤助动词“do”后面的动词用动词过去时态;⑥.助动词“do”后面的动词第三人称单数加“s";⑦ 助动词“do”后面的动词加“ing”等。例如:

  a. I could did my homework.

  b. He may goes to school by bike every day.

  正确的句子:

  a. I could do my homework.

  b. He may go to school by bike every day.

  英语写作中常见语法错误的改正方法

  主谓不一致,人称与动词不符。例如:

  My sister go to the cinema at least once a week. (误)

  My sister goes to the cinema at least once a week. (正)

  上面例句中,主语是My sister ,为第三人称,所以谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式goes才正确,这种主谓不一致的错误在写作中是很常见的问题,稍一疏忽就会犯,考生需要更加细心才行。

  句子成分残缺不全,语句不通。例如:

  We should read books may be useful to us. (误)

  We should read books which may be useful to us. (正)

  这是一个定语从句的例句,其中which在从句中做的是主语,所以不能省略,一旦省略就会造成句子成分残缺,考试中大家在写完一句话时要记得读一遍看看通不通顺。

  句子成分多余,累赘复杂。例如:

  This test is end, but there is another test is waiting for you. (误)

  One test ends, but another is waiting for you. (正)

  这一句的错误有点中式英语的味道,逐字逐句对应翻译,there is 放在这里,累赘而又繁琐。

  动词时态、语态的误用,前后不一致。例如:

  I was walking along the road, and there are not so many cars on the street. (误)

  I was walking along the road and there were not so many vehicles on the street. (正)

  这个例句中前面是was walking ,所以后面也要用相应的过去进行时were,同一个句子里,没有特殊情况,前后时态时要保持一致的。

  We have little time to read some books which we interest. (误)

  We have little time to read some books in which we are interested. (正)

  这一句也可以说是定语从句语法错误,be interested in是我们都知道的固定搭配,所以它后面跟宾语一定要有介词in,所以从句引导词要用 in which 。

  词类混淆,词性不明。例如:

  It is my point that reading must be selectively. (误)

  In my opinion, reading must be selective. (正)

  这句中,be 后面是形容 reading 的意思,所以要用到一个形容词,而selectively明显是一个副词。

  名词可数与不可数的错误。例如:

  In modern society, people are under various pressures(误)

  In modern society, people are under various kinds of pressure. (正)

  pressure是一种无形的但是有很多种类的事物,所以不能直接在后面加复数s,但是要形容他多,各种各样后面加一个种类kinds of 就正确表达出了复数形式。

  及物动词与不及物动词的误用。例如:

  The traffic accident was taken place at the junction of two highways. (误)

  The traffic accident took place at the junction of two highways. (正)

  发生是一个主动的过程,没有什么事是被发生的,所以不能用was taken place 。

  情态动词的误用。例如:

  They should spent much time. (误)

  They should spend much time. (正)

  情态动词后面常常跟动词原形,所以spend要用原型。

  动宾搭配不当。例如:

  We must ppay attention to it and make solutions to the problem. (误)

  We must pay attention and find a solution to the problem. (正)

  There be句型的误用。例如:

  There exists some new problems such as being dishonest. (误)

  There exist/arise some new problems such as being dishonest. (正)

  There be句型中动词一般用原型,exist/arise 不需要变成第三人称单数形式。
