［正］ I had met an old friend three days before.
［正］ I met an old friend three days ago.
* ago 用在时间状语中时，主句中谓语动词一般用过去时，而before用于时间状语时则主句的谓语动词宜用完成时态。
［误］ He studied very hard. and at the end he passed the exam.
［正］ He studied very hard, and in the end he passed the exam.
［析］ in the end＝at last 意为最终，终于，表达经过若干努力而达到的结果。而at the end是在某事的结束时如何如何，如：At the end of class, the teacher gave us some story books。
［误］ I will come here to help you each three days.
［正］ I will come here to help you every three days.
［析］ every three days 为每三天，即每隔二天，而every other day为每隔一天。
［误］ He didn't go to the cinema yesterday. and I didn't go, too.
［正］ He didn't go to the cinema yesterday and I didn't go either.
［析］ 英语中表示也，有4个字，also, as well, too, either，但either用于否定句中，而前3个用于肯定句中。在肯定句中too与as well一般要用在句尾，而also则可用于句中。如：She went to the party and her boy friend went there too. 又如： I've also read her other novels.
［误］ We should help the poor girl in anyway.
［正］ We should help the poor girl in any way.
［析］ anyway为不管怎么讲，无论如何，如：What a terrible accident, anyway no one was hurt.
any way 为任何方式。这种常见的错误还发生在以下几组词中，如：
everyday 日常的 every day 每天
faraway 遥远的 far away 远离
altogether 总计 all together 一块，大家一起
already 已经 all ready 全准备好了
［误］ You can come to the doctor's at anytime.
［正］ You can come to the doctor's at any time.
［析］ anytime 是副词 而any time中的time是名词。
［误］ She said nearly nothing.
［正］ She said almost nothing.
［析］ nearly 与 almost的含意相近，在很多场合可以互换，但在否定词前用almost。
［误］ There are too much mistakes in your homework.
［正］ There are too many mistakes in your homework.
［析］ too much 后接不可数名词，如：There is too much water for the flowers. 而too many 后加可数名词，much too 后面加形容词，如：It is much too difficult to learn English well.
［误］ It is late enough that we can go home now.
［正］ It is late enough for us to go home now.
［析］ 要注意的是enough后面一般不接从句而接不定式，或不定式的复合结构：for somebody to do something。
［误］ The twins are very alike.
［正］ The twins are much alike.
［析］ 用a为首字母的形容词不能用very修饰，一般要用much来修饰。
［误］ - How long does he write to his parents?
- Once a week.
［正］ - How often does he write to his parents?
- Once a week.
［析］ 英文与中文表达法不同，隔多长时间办一次某事，实际上问的是该事发生的频率，所以要用how often。
［误］ As soon as I arrive in New York, I'll call up you.
［正］ As soon as I arrive in New York, I'll call you up.
［析］ 当动词词组的宾语是人称代词时则一定要放于动词之后，如果是名词则可以放在词组其后。如：I want to watch TV. Please turn on the TV. 也可以讲： Please turn the TV on.
［误］ He drove quickly his new car.
［正］ He drove his new car quickly.
［析］ 副词在句中的位置很活，但主要有以下几种用法：①实意动词之前，如：He quickly give me the answer. ② 在be动词之后，如：The little boy is often late for class. ③ 第一助动词之后，如：This book has almost been finished. ④ 在单独使用的be动词和助动词之前，如： Can you help me this afternoon? I certainly can.但是无论如何也不能将副词置于动词与宾语之间，如果是宾语从句或是很长的名词
词组作宾语则才可以这样用：
He heard clearly what the teacher said.
［误］ The children came late yesterday to the cinema.
［正］ The children came late to the cinema yesterday.
［析］ 表示一定长度的时间的副词不应放于句中，可放于句尾。如果表示强调则可放于句首。
［误］ You have few new books, haven't you?
［正］ you have few new books, have you?
［析］ 英语中的数量形容词有两组。修饰可数名词的有few(很少，几乎没有)，a few(有一些，几个)；修饰不可数名词的有little (很少，几乎没有)，a little(有一点，有一些)。要注意的是当few和little用于句中时应看作否定句，而 a few 和a little 用于句中时则应看作是肯定句。
［误］ He spent quite little money on his food.
［正］ He spent quite a little money on his food.
［析］ quite a 为一固定用法，其意为十分，相当，所以。 quite a few＝many, quite a little＝much 而only a little＝little, only a few=few.
［误］ Do you want to have many bread?
［正］ Do you want to have some bread?
［析］ some与any都可以用作形容词、副词或代词，在一般情况下，some用于肯定句，any用于疑问句和否定句，但在希望得到肯定答复时，应用some。 其次是some 可以 …… 此处隐藏：3974字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
