即使是高水平的英语使用者也会犯语法错误。有些错误如此常见,以至于它们出现在日常对话、电子邮件和专业写作中。本全面指南涵盖了30个最常见的英语语法错误,解释为什么它们是错误的,并准确告诉你如何纠正。将本页作为你的语法核查清单收藏起来。
如何使用本指南
每个错误都按照清晰的模式组织:错误版本、正确版本和简短的规则解释。重点学习你在自己写作中常犯的那些错误,并练习纠正。
动词相关的常见错误
1. 主谓一致
错误: The list of items are on the table. 正确: The list of items is on the table. 规则: 动词与主语(list)保持一致,而不是与最近的名词(items)一致。
2. "If" 后面使用错误时态
错误: If I will see him, I will tell him. 正确: If I see him, I will tell him. 规则: 在第一条件句中,"if" 后面用一般现在时,不用 "will"。
中文对比: 中文说"如果我会看到他"很自然,但英语中 if 从句不能用 will。
3. 混淆过去简单时和现在完成时
错误: I have gone to Paris last year. 正确: I went to Paris last year. 规则: 有具体的过去时间词(yesterday, last year, in 2020)时用过去简单时。
4. 忘记第三人称 -s
错误: She go to school every day. 正确: She goes to school every day. 规则: 一般现在时中,he/she/it 后面的动词要加 -s 或 -es。
5. "Did" 后面用了过去式
错误: Did you went to the store? 正确: Did you go to the store? 规则: "did" 后面一定用动词原形。
冠词相关的常见错误
6. 遗漏冠词
错误: She is teacher. 正确: She is a teacher. 规则: 单数可数名词需要冠词(a, an, the)或限定词。
中文对比: 中文没有冠词系统,所以"她是老师"直接翻译时容易漏掉 "a"。
7. 用 "A" 代替 "An"
错误: She ate a apple. 正确: She ate an apple. 规则: 在以元音音素(不仅仅是元音字母)开头的单词前用 "an"。
8. 不必要的 "The"
错误: I like the music. (泛指的情况) 正确: I like music. 规则: 谈论泛指的事物时不用 "the"。
代词相关的常见错误
9. Me 与 I 的混淆
错误: John and me went to the party. 正确: John and I went to the party. 规则: 作主语时用 I。测试方法:去掉另一个人——"I went to the party."
10. Who 与 Whom
错误: Who did you give the book to? 正确: Whom did you give the book to?(正式用法) 规则: 当它是宾语时用 "whom"。如果可以用 "him/her" 替换,就用 "whom"。
11. Its 与 It's
错误: The dog wagged it's tail. 正确: The dog wagged its tail. 规则: "Its" = 所有格。"It's" = it is / it has。
介词相关的常见错误
12. Depend On(不是 Depend Of)
错误: It depends of the weather. 正确: It depends on the weather. 规则: 正确的搭配是 "depend on"。
13. Interested In(不是 Interested At/For)
错误: I am interested for learning English. 正确: I am interested in learning English. 规则: 正确的介词是 "interested in"。
14. Listen To(不能省略 To)
错误: I like to listen music. 正确: I like to listen to music. 规则: "Listen" 后面的宾语前必须有介词 "to"。
15. Different From(不是 Different Than/To)
错误: This is different than that. 正确: This is different from that. 规则: 标准英语用 "different from"。
词语混淆的常见错误
16. Their / There / They're
错误: Their going to the park. There dog is big. 正确: They're going to the park. Their dog is big. 规则: They're = they are。Their = 所有格。There = 地点。
17. Your / You're
错误: Your welcome. 正确: You're welcome. 规则: You're = you are。Your = 所有格。
18. Then 与 Than
错误: She is taller then her brother. 正确: She is taller than her brother. 规则: "Than" 用于比较。"Then" 用于时间顺序。
19. Lose 与 Loose
错误: Don't loose your keys. 正确: Don't lose your keys. 规则: "Lose"(动词)= 丢失。"Loose"(形容词)= 松的。
20. Affect 与 Effect
错误: The weather effected my mood. 正确: The weather affected my mood. 规则: "Affect" 通常是动词。"Effect" 通常是名词。
句子结构的常见错误
21. 连写句(Run-On Sentences)
错误: I love cooking I make dinner every night. 正确: I love cooking. I make dinner every night. / I love cooking, and I make dinner every night. 规则: 不要把两个独立从句连在一起而不用连词或标点。
22. 逗号拼接(Comma Splices)
错误: She was tired, she went to bed. 正确: She was tired, so she went to bed. 规则: 两个独立从句需要连词、分号或句号——不能只用逗号。
23. 双重否定
错误: I don't have nothing. 正确: I don't have anything. / I have nothing. 规则: 标准英语每个从句只用一个否定。
24. Although... But
错误: Although it was raining, but we went outside. 正确: Although it was raining, we went outside. 规则: "Although" 和 "but" 都表示转折——只能用一个。
中文对比: 这是中国学习者最常犯的错误之一!中文的"虽然……但是"可以同时使用,但英语中 "although" 和 "but" 不能同时出现。
25. 修饰语位置不当
错误: She almost drove her kids to school every day. (她几乎开车还是几乎每天?) 正确: She drove her kids to school almost every day. 规则: 修饰语要放在它所描述的词旁边。
形容词和副词的常见错误
26. Good 与 Well
错误: She sings very good. 正确: She sings very well. 规则: "Good" 是形容词。"Well" 是修饰动词的副词。

28. 比较级和最高级错误

29. 形容词顺序
错误: She bought a red beautiful big dress. 正确: She bought a beautiful big red dress. 规则: 英语形容词顺序:观点、大小、年龄、形状、颜色、来源、材料、用途。
30. Bored 与 Boring
错误: I am boring with this movie. 正确: I am bored with this movie. / This movie is boring. 规则: -ed 形容词描述感受。-ing 形容词描述引起感受的事物。
中文对比: 中文说"我很无聊"可以指人也可以指事物,但英语中必须区分 "I am bored"(我觉得无聊)和 "I am boring"(我这个人很无趣)。
