1. 你妹妹长什么样?
误:What does your sister like?
正:What does your sister look like?
析:当询问某人的外貌特征时,应用句型“What do/does+主语+look like?”,其中like是介词,短语look like的意思是“看上去像……”。例如:
She looks like her mother.她看上去像她妈妈。
2. 你认识那个戴眼镜的女孩吗?
误:Do you know the girl has glasses?
正:Do you know the girl with glasses?
析:此处要用介词with来表示“戴”的意思,作伴随状语,放在所修饰的词后面。
3. 你哥哥会讲英语吗?
误:Can your brother say English?
正:Can your brother speak English?
析:say的意思是“说、讲”,强调所说的内容。而speak作“说、讲”时,强调说话的能力;说某种语言时,要用speak。例如:
Please say it again.请再说一遍。
4. 教室里没有人。
误:There are nobody in the classroom.
正:There is nobody in the classroom.
析:nobody是不定代词,意思是“没有人”,含有否定意义,作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式。
5. 我认为你不对。
误:I think you are not right.
正:I dont think you are right.
析:I think后面接一个句子(叫宾语从句)作宾语时,若该句子为否定的,一般要否定主句,而不否定从句。
6. 我想要一些西红柿。
误:Id like some tomatos.
正:Id like some tomatoes.
析:tomato的复数形式是在词尾加上es构成。
7. 你想要多大碗的面条?
误:How size bowl of noodles would you like?
正:What size bowl of noodles would you like?
析:size的意思是“大小、尺寸”,可与what连用,而不可与how连用。
8. 我想吃鸡肉和带洋白菜的面条。
误:Id like chicken or cabbage noodles.
正:Id like chicken and cabbage noodles.
析:在肯定句中表示并列成分的列举,要用and;在疑问句和否定句中并列成分的列举要用or。
9. 你想要哪种面条?
误:What kinds of noodles would you like?
正:What kind of noodles would you like?
析:kind与what连用时,要用单数形式。
10. 我喜欢牛肉西红柿面条。

正:I like beef and tomato noodles.
析:名词作定语时,一般要用单数形式。
11. 他喜欢吃鸡肉。
