英语写作中常见错误与讲解一．句子结构1.误：Although I tried my best to speak English in class, but I failed at last.正：Although I tried my best to speak English in class, I failed at last.解：从句用了although,主句就不要用but,两者只能用一个；类似错误：In my opinion, I think..., Because…, so….等，只用其中一个。
2.误：There are many people do not have a good score….正：There are many people who do not have a good score….解：一个句子中只能有一个谓语动词，如果还要用动词表意，则要变换形式为分词或不定式（它们又叫“非谓语动词”），或者变从句。
3.误：It’s about eight years since I first learning English.正：It has been about eight years since I first began learning English.解：since自从……时候起，是完成时态的标志，这里“啥时”以过去发生了什么事情来表示。
4.误：…no matter you learn English well or not…正：…whether you learn English well or not…解：no matter how/when/which的“不论”非同于whether…or not之“不论”。
5.误：Not only satisfied dramatically was my vanity, but also my result in English was improved significantly.正：Not only was my vanity satisfied, my English proficiency was also improved significantly.解：not only, never, seldom, little, scarcely,nowhere, rarely等否定词和on no account/by no means/under no circumstances/in no way/in no case(绝不，在任何情况下都不)等带有否定含义的短语放在句首，通常把be/do等助动词和情态动词放在主语的前面，这就是所谓的部分倒装，例如Rarely does the temperature go above 25 degrees Centigrade here. (这里的温度很少超过25摄氏度。
) Under no circumstances should we agree to such a principle.(在任何情况下我们都不能同意这样一个原则。
)6. 误：only can you do it ,English is no problem for you.正：Only when you do it will English be no problem for you.解：“only+状语”位于句首，主句部分倒装。
二．主谓一致1.误：…my classmate tell me …正：…my classmates tell (classmate tells) me …解：主语是第三人称单数，且是一般现在时，谓语动词词尾应加“s”2. 误：Someone think that learning English is to remember words.正：Some people think解：“someone”是第三人称单数，其谓语动词应是“thinks”，但是既然“有个人”不能代表一些人的观点，没有说服力，因此还是用“some people”为好。
3. 误：My English become better and better. 正：My English becomes better and better./ My English is becoming better and better. 解：主语是第三人称单数，且是一般现在时，谓语动词词尾应加“s”4. 误：My inner feelings is very complicated. 正：are解：主语是第三人称复数，“be”动词应是“are”。
5. 误：I believe that many students has a lot of experience.正：have解：主语是第三人称复数，其谓语应是“have”。
三．搭配1. 误：In one hand,…in the other hand…正：On one hand,… on the other hand…解：这是固定搭配。
2. 误：in campus正：on解：campus指大学校园，on campus在校内，off campus在校外。
3. 误：look up the dictionary正：look up new words in the dictionary / consult the dictionary解：look up表示“查阅”的意思，后面一般接的是“单词”或“词义(the meaning of a word)”，而不是“字典”。
4. 误：I’m developing my interest of English. 正：in解：掌握名词、动词、形容词与什么介词搭配至关重要，需要平时的点滴积累，这些搭配一般是固定的，不可随便替换，例如show passion/enthusiasm/zeal(激情、热情)for one’s work; a thirst/hunger/craving/desire(渴望) for knowledge；而sensitive(敏感的)、indifferent （漠不关心的）、addicted(成瘾的)则与介词to搭配，等等。
5. 误：I became more strict to myself.正：with6. 误：I spent much time to practice it.正：I spent much time (in) practicing it.7. 误：We all have difficulty in memorize new words.正：We all have difficulty in memorizing new words.解：have difficulty/trouble/problem (in)接动名词v-ing, 表示做某事有困难。
8. 误：I dream to be a scientist.正：I dream of being a scientist.9 误：I learned English by my heart.正：I learned English by heart.解：表示“用心地”意思应该用by heart, 中间一般不用修饰词，类似短语还有by mistake(错误地)，by accident=hap=hazard （偶然，碰巧）by comparison/contrast(相比之下)，by experience(根据经验), by force（通过武力），by habit(出于习惯), by principle(按照原则), by rote(死记硬背，机械地)。
四．用词混淆1. 误：I took a large number of time on practicing English listening.正：It took me much time to practice listening./ I spent much time practicing English listening.解：这个句子里面有两个典型错误。
第一，表示做某事情花费某人多少时间，可以说It takes/took sb. +时间to do sth. 例如，It took me three hours to upload this movie. 其主语不要用人，而spend主语通常是人，I spent three days uploading this movie. 第二个错误，a (large)number of、a multitude of、a good many, many后面只能接可数名词的复数形式，a large amount of、much 后面只能接不可数名词。
2. 误：…we are interest in English. We can seesome interest English movies…正：…we are interested in English. We can see some interesting English movies…解：过去分词表示被动或者过去的意思，而现在分词表示性质。
3.误：…we should pay a lot time to say it in any occasion正：…we should spend a lot of time saying it on any occasion解：人能spend钱或时间，pay钱或代价。
4.误：…we should take a lot of time to remember words…正：…we should spend a lot of time(in) remembering words…解：人能spend钱或时间，东西（对象物体）take 某人+精力、时间、钱等。
5.误：…instead of remember a large number of words…正：…instead of remembering a largenumber of words…解：instead of是介词词性，后面必须跟名词或者名词词性的成分。
6. 误：I would be laughed by my classmates. 正：laughed at解：“laugh at”表示“嘲笑”的意思，是一个及物的动词短语，用于被动语态中，at应该保留。
7. 误：We would feel frustrating.正：frustrated解：这句话原意应是“我们将感到灰心”。
表示“感到…”，用“V+ed”形式，表示”令人…或使人…，用“V+ing”形式。
