名词在使用中的难点在于名词的数 即可数名词与不可数名词
的实际应用。不可数名词不能用数字计算 所以它通常只有单
数形式。它包含有专有名词、物质名词、抽象名词等 如 English,air,water,cotton,work…可数名词是可以用数量加以计算的名词 所以它具有单数形式和复数形式两种。可数名词复
数形式的构成规律是
1. 一般情况加s,如 pen—pens, doctor—doctors,boy—
其读音规则是在清辅音后读 s 在元音和浊辅音后读 z 。
如:map—map boy—boys. 2. 在以s,sh,ch,x结尾的名词后面加es 如 bus—buses,class—
classes,其读音为 iz 。
3. 以ce,se,ze,(dge结尾的名词加s 其读音为 iz 。
4. 以辅音字母加y结尾的名词 要将y变为i再加es 读作 z
如 factory—factories,country—countries, family —families.但要
注意的是以元音字母加y结尾的名词的复数形式只加s 如:boy
—boys,day—days。
5. 以o结尾的名词的复数形式一般要加es 但如果o前面是元
音字母或外来词 缩写词以o结尾的则只加s 如 tomato —
tomatoes,hero—heroes;photo—photos,radio—radios,piano—
pianos
6. 以f或fe结尾的名词的复数形式要将f或fe变为v再加es
如 knife—knives, leaf—leaves, 但有些例外的词如roof的复数形
式是roofs。
7. 不规则名词的复数形式是要单个记忆的 它没有规律可循
如:man—men,woman—women, child—children, foot—feet,tooth—
teeth, mouse—mice
8. 单复同形的名词有 fish, sheep,deer…
9. 单数形式但其意为复数的名词有:people,police等。 名词还
有格的变化 其主格可作主语 宾格可作宾语。还有所有格 用
来表示人或物的所有 以及领属关系。表示有生命的名词的所
有格其单数形式是加's其复数形式是s' 如其结尾不是s 的复数形式仌加's 如 a student's room, students' rooms, Children's
Day.在表示时间、距离、世界、国家……名词的所有格要用's
如 a twenty minutes' walk.但无生命名词的所有格则必须用of
结构 如 the capital of our country, the colour of the flowers
(二 正误辨析
误 Please give me a paper.
正 Please give me a piece of paper.
析 不要认为可以数的名词就是可数名词 这种原因是对英语
中可数与不可数名词的概念与中文中的能数与不能数相混淆
了 所以造成了这样的错误 因paper在英语中是属于物质名
词一类 是不可数名词。而不可数名词要表达数量时 要用与
之相关的量词来表达 如 two pieces of paper.
误 Please give me two letter papers.
正 Please give me two pieces of letter paper. 析 paper作为纸讲是不可数名词 而作为报纸、耂卷、文章讲
时则是可数名词 如 Each student should write a paper on
what he has learnt.
误 My glasses is broken. 正 My glasses are broken.
误 I want to buy two shoes.
正 I want to buy two pairs of shoes.
析 英语中glasses—眼镜 shoes—鞋 trousers—裤子等由两部
分组成的名词一般要用复数形式。如果要表示一副眼镜应用a
pair of glasses而这时的谓语动词应与量词相一致。如 This
pair of glasses is very good.
误 May I borrow two radioes?
正 May I borrow two radios?
析 以o结尾的名词大都是用加es来表示其复数形式 但如果
o前面是一个元音字母或外来语时则只加s就可以了。这样的
词有zoo—zoos,piano—pianos.
误 This is a Mary's dictionary.
正 This is Mary's dictionary.
析 如名词前有指示代词this, that, these those,及其他修饰词
our,some, every, which, 或所有格时 则不要再加冠词。
误 There are much people in the garden.
正 There are many people in the garden.
析 可数名词前应用many, few, a few, a lot of 来
修饰 而
people是可数名词 而且是复数名词 如 The people are
planting trees here.
误 I want a few water. 正 I want a little water.
析 不可数名词前可以用a little, little, a lot of, some来修饰
但不可用many,few来修饰。
误 Thank you very much. Your family is very kind to me.
正 Thank you very much. Your family are very kind to me.
误 Tom's and Mary's family are waiting for us. 正 Tom's and Mary's families are waiting for
us.
误 I'm sorry. I have to go. Tom's families are waiting for me.
正 I'm sorry. I have to go. Tom's family are waiting for me.
析 集吅名词如果指某个集吅的整体 则应视为单数 如指某
个集吅体中的个体则应视为复数。如:My family is a big family.
When I came in, Tom's family were watching TV. 即汤姆一家人
正在看电视。这样的集吅名词有 family class, team等。
误 Don't eat too much meats.
正 Don't eat too much meat.
误 Food in that restaurant is very good.
正 The food in that restaurant is very good.
析 物质名词是不可数名词 在使用中不可以加s 即它没有
复数形式。也不可加不定冠词。但如果用于特指某一物质时可
以加定冠词。如 I don't like drinking coffee, but the coffee in
that cup is really good.
误 Please give me two waters. 正 Please give me two glasses of water.
正 Please give me two coffees.
析 物质名词如要加计量时 一定要加量词 如 two cups of
tea,two glasses of water,a glass of milk,a loaf of bread,
a piece of bread,a box of sugar,
a bowl of rice,a bottle of orange,
a bag of earth
例 I'll tell you a piece of good news.
但只有coffee可以用coffees来取代many cups of coffee.
误 Can you give me the newspaper of today?
正 Can you give me today's newspaper?
析 加's构成所有格的名词一般应指有生命的人或物。如
Mary's hair 但在英文的习惯用法中对时间、距离等名词的所
有格多用's来构成而不用of结构。如 a five minutes' walk.
误 Please make a room for the lady in the school bus.
正 Please make room for the lady in the school bus.
析 英语中更多的名词是含有多种用法和多种含意的 如 room为可数名词时为“房间” 如 I live in Room 5.而room
为抽象名词时为空间上面一句话应译为“请给老妇人在校车上
留个地方。”这样的词还有 glass 玻璃glasses 眼镜stone 石
头a stone 一块石头time 时间two times 两次wood 木头woods 树林 误 There is a flowers garden behind my house.
正 There is a flower garden behind my house.
析 名词除了在句中作主语、宾语、表语外 还可以用来修饰
另一个名词 这时作修饰词的名词一般要用单数形式 如
shoe factory (鞋厂,post office(邮局,evening paper (晚报,night
school (夜校,head master (校长,a law school (法律学院。但也
有例外 如:a goods train(货车,sports meeting (运动会。
误 My mother bought two fishes for supper this morning.
正 My mother bought two fish for supper this morning.
析 英语中有些名词单复同形 如 fish, deer, sheep, Chinese
(中国人, means (方法。所以应讲one fish, two fish, one
Chinese, two Chinese. 如果讲There are five fishes in the pool.
应译为池中有五种鱼而不是五条鱼。
误 Mary expressed her thank to her boy friend. 正 Mary expressed her thanks to her boy friend. 析 英语中有些名词只有复数形式 如 thanks, greens 而
有些词单数形式与复数形式有不同的词意。如:clothes 为衣
朋 而cloth则是布 sand沙子 而sands是沙滩。
误 I offered my son my congratulation on his success.
正 I offered my son my congratulations on his success.
析 英语中表示祝贺的词虽有单数形式 但一般要用其复数形
式。如握手为shake hands. 误 We have five German in this meeting.
正 We have five Germans in this meeting.
析 英国人Englishman的复数形式为Englishmen 而German
则要加s 因为它不是由国名与man的组吅词。
误 There are two As in this word.
正 There are two A's in this word.
析 在大写字母缩写形式的复数表达法中应加s 但如字母是
A、I时 为了防止与As和Is相混 则要用's即A's I's 误 There are three 6s and two 3s in my telephone number.
正 There are three 6's and two 3's in my telephone number.
析 在小写字母与数字的复数形式表达法中要用's
误 We have many woman teachers in our school. 正 We have many women teachers in our school. 析 一般组吅名词变为复数形式时只将词中心词变为复数如
half brother—half brothers(同父异母或同母异父的兄弟daughter in law—daughtersin law,(儿媳但要注意的是 man
driver—men drivers(男司机 woman doctor—women doctors(女
大夫grown up—grown ups(成年人 但是boy student—则变为
boy students
误 Physics are very difficult to learn.
正 Physics is very difficult to learn. 析 虽以s结尾但只能用作单数名词有 科学 学
科名字
Physics. Mathematics politics游戏名称 bowls 专有名称
Niagara Falls(尼亚加拉瀑布 其他名词 news(消息 新闻
误 There is a people in the room.
正 There is a person in the room.
正 There is a man in the room.
析 people是复数名词 不可用作单数 如要用来讲一个人时
应用a person, a man, a woman。同样的词有police.要讲一个警
察时则要用a policeman, a policewoman。
误 Where is my shoe?
正 Where are my shoes?
析 常常只用作复数形式的词有trousers, pants, shorts(短
裤 socks(袜子,shoes, gloves(手套。但如果只找其中的一个
则要指明 这时还是应用单数形式。如 Where's my
left
glove?(我左手的手套在哪?
误 I paid five pennies for the sweet.
正 I paid five pence for the sweet.
析 英语中便士有两个复数形式pence用来表达一定数量的
钱。而pennies是指一个个的硬币 如 I want to change this
note for pennies.我想把这纸币换成硬币。(即一便士一个的硬
币。
误 There are many fruit in the shop. 正 There are many fruits in the shop.
析 物质名词为不可数名词 但是用来表示种类时则可以用作
可数名词 这里应译为各种各样的水果。
误 There is a new car. It is Jone's and Mary's. 正 There is a new car. It is Jone and Mary's. 析 有生命名词的所有格 如果是单数名词则加's如 Mary's
car.如果是以s结尾的复数名词则只在s后面加’如 teachers'
offices.如果是复数名词但不是以s结尾 则只加’s 如
children's palace 组吅名词的所有格是在最后一个词尾加's如
girl friend —girl friend's someone else—someone else's a week or
three—a week or three's如名词后有同位语时 则应加在同位
语的词尾上 如 It is my girl friend, Mary's car.要注意的是当两
个名词并列时 如表示归两人共同所有 则在最后一个名词后
面加's 如果表示分别所有则在两个名词后分别加's 如 This
is Mary and Jone's home.即Mary与Jone是一家人。这是他们
共同的家。而These are Mary's and Jone's homes.则应译为这
里是Mary的家与Jone 的家。
误 It is really beautiful. It is a work of nature.
正 It is really beautiful. It is a Nature's work.
析 无生命名词的所有格应用of结构。但是's形式的所有格可
用于以下无生命的名词 表示时间的词 today's newspaper, a
twenty minutes' walk, an hour's, rest 表示长度的词 three metres' distance, a boat's length twenty miles' journey 表示
重量的名词 two pounds' weight价格名词 two
dollars'worth拟
人化的名词 Nature's work, nature's lesson(大自然的教训及
国家、机关、团体、城市等机构性名词 the
university's library
误 He is an old friend of my father.
正 He is an old friend of my father's.
析 这是英语中的一种习惯用法而不要根据语法去推理。如
This pen is Tom's.
误 My father is a good cooker.
正 My father is a good cook.
析 一般动词加上er后则转意为执行该动作的执行者 如:teach(教—teacher(老师,think(想—thinker(思想家,drive(开
车—driver(司机,sell(卖—seller(卖物者……但不能总是以此
类推 比如cook是动词“做饭”。而cook也可作为名词“厨师”
讲 而cooker则为厨具 餐具 即锅、碗、勺等做饭用具。
误 The young is dancing there.
正 The young are dancing there.
析 英文中用定冠词加上形容词表示一类人时应按复数名词
如 the rich 富人 the poor(穷人,the wise 聪明人 但如果用
定冠词加形容词来表示事物则要用作单数名词 如 The beautiful is still here.美丽的风景依旧。 误 The stories of the book was written many years ago.
正 The stories of the book were written many years ago.
析 这句话的真正主语应是stories 所以应用复数谓语动词。
误 This is one of the English Chinese dictionary.
正 This is one of the English Chinese dictionaries.
析 one of意为“……之一” of后面的名词要用复数形式。
误 Let's go to uncle Wang for supper.
正 Let's go to uncle Wang's for supper.
析 uncle Wang's 意为“王叔叔家” doctor's意为“医院或私人
诊所”。
误 I think we will make a friend with each other.
正 I think we will make friends with each other.
析 make friends 为习惯用法 即交朊友。
误 I want to tell you much pieces of good news. 正 I want to tell you many pieces of good news. 析 news为不可数名词 但加了量词之后则要用many来修饰
量词 因量词是可数名词 或可以说I want to tell you some
good news.因some 即可用在可数名词前 也可用在不可数名
词前作形容词 如 I want to tell you some pieces of good news.
误 The teacher with five students are coming here.
正 The teacher with five students is coming here.
析 要注意由with引出的介词短语不是本句的主语 这与连词and有很大的区别 如 The teacher and five students are
coming here. 这里由介词引出的短语仅仅是teacher的修饰
语。
误 There are a lot of information here, but we don't need them.
正 There is a lot of information here, but we don't need it.
析 information为不可数名词 而用作代替它的词要用it而不
能用them.
误 Many a student make the same mistake in the exam.
正 Many a student makes the same mistake in the exam.
析 many a 加可数名词单数 作主语时其谓语动词应用单数
形式 但其意为许多学生。
误 The children wear very good cloth to go to school today.
正 The children wear very good clothes to go to school today.
析 英文中cloth,clothes,clothing是易混之词 cloth是物质名
词 意为“布” 没有复数形式 而clothing是指衣物的总称 也
没有复数形式。clothes是指衣朋 但没有单数形式 如 This
clothing is needed in warm countries. Her clothes are made of
fine cloth.英文中的dress则指较正规的朋装 如 a school
dress 校朋 an evening dress晚礼朋。
误 I like to study the English.
正 I like to study English.
析 作为一种学科名词前不要用冠词 而作为某一特指学科则要加冠词 如 I like to study history. I
like to study the history of
America.
误 The Browns is going to visit China.
正 The Browns are going to visit China.
析 定冠词加姓加s 则意为“Brown先生一家人”。所以应用
复数谓语动词。此句应译为 Brown先生一家将要访问中国。

A. am
B. is
C. are
D. be

谓语动词。
2. Which is the to the bus stop please?
A road
B way
C street
D address
答案 B.
析 这是耂察同意词辨析 road是指较宽阔的大道 意为“乡
间公路” 而street意为道路两边的建筑物较高 可视为街道之
意 而way则多为要到达某地所要经过的途径 还可引深为方
式、方法。而address则为“地址”。如 There is a car running
along the country road. I live at 105 Park street. Can you
show me the way to the National Museum? 3. Hurry up!There is time left.
A little
B a little
C few
D a few
答案 A.
析 因time作为时间讲为不可数名词 所以不可用few a few
来修饰。另外 英文的表达法与中文不同 中文讲 快点 时间
不多了 而英文要讲 快点 没时间了。因此 要用little而不用
a little.
4. How many can you see in the picture?
A tomatos
B tomatoes
C tomato
D the tomato
答案 B.
析 用How many提问时 其名词要用复数形式 而tomato的
复数要加es.
5. — is the meat. Please?
— Ten yuan a kilo.
A How much
B How many
C How old
D How long
答案 A.
析 由对话的答语可看出其问句问的是价格。钱数作为整体、
价格讲时 不论其值是多少都是不可数名词 要用how much
提问。

是family name.

17 Whose room is this? It's .
A my
B Kike's and John's
C our
D Kike and John's
答案 D.
析 因为room为单数 所以不可能是Kike的一间与John 的一
间 应为二者共用的一间房子。
二、 冠词
(一 知识概要
冠词在英语中只有3个词 分为两类 不定冠词a与an 定冠词
the。 a用在以辅音开始的单数名词前 an用于以元音开始的
单词前。不定冠词用来表示一类事物中泛指的某一事物 而定
冠词则用于特指的某一个或某些事物 可用于不可数名词、可
数名词单数及可数名词复数前。
(二 正误辨析
误 This building is an university.
正 This building is a university.
析 a用于以辅音音素开始的单词前 而an用于以元音音素开
始的单词前 而不是元音字母开头的单词前。university 的第一
个音素是 j 所以用a而不要用an。又如 There is a “n” in
the word.是错句 应为 There is an “n”in the word.因字母n的
发音的第一个音素是元音。要注意的还有hour因其第一个字
母h不发音 所以应该用an hour。例如 I need an hour to finish the work.
It is a useful dictionary.
It is a European country.
I bought a used car.
误 I need a umbrella because it looks like raining.
正 I need an umbrella because it looks like raining.
析 因umbrella的第一个音素是元音 所以应用an.常用的情
况有 an old man, an English teacher, an elephant, an idea, an
hour ago, an honest boy…。
误 “Can you help me” “Sorry, I'm in hurry.”
正 “Can you help me” “Sorry. I'm in a hurry.”
析 不定冠词的主要用法如下
1. 用来表示一类人或事物 如 She is a teacher.
2. 指某一类人或事物中的一个 如 An elephant is bigger than
a horse.
3. 泛指某一人或事物 如 A man is waiting for you at the
school gate.
4. 相当于“one”的概念 如 I just bought a new dictionary.
5. 其主要的难点是用在固定词组中
如 have a walk/a rest /a look
又如 in a hurry 匆匆忙忙
make a face 作鬼脸 do somebody a favour 帮某人忙a number of =many
又如 have a good time (玩得好
have a cold (感冒
have a headache (头痛
have a break=have a rest
误 I bought the dictionary yesterday. A dictionary is very good.
正 I bought a dictionary yesterday. The dictionary is very good.
析 在文章中第一次提到某物时用不定冠词 而第二次提到时
用定冠词。

冠词。

析 在序数词 形容词最高级前要用定冠词。如 He
is the
oldest in the family. 误 I want to learn the second language this term.
正 I want to learn a second language this term. 析 在序数词的含意不是顺序中的第一第二 而其意在于再学
一个 再来一个时 应用a 本句的意思应为 这学期我要学一
门第二外语。
误 Mississippi is one of the longest rivers in the world.
正 The Mississippi is one of the longest rivers in the world.
析 在河流名称前应加定冠词 如 the Yellow
River(黄河。
误 Look, there are Alp.
误 Look, there are the Alp.
正 Look, there are the Alps.
析 具体的某一座山不加定冠词 如 Mountain Tai.但在山名
称前加定冠词后 其山名要加s 来表示山脉。the Alps 即为阿
尔卑斯山脉。如:The Alps are in the center of Europe.
误 Times is one of the oldest newspapers in the world.
正 The Times is one of the oldest newspapers in the world.
析 报刊名称前应加定冠词。
误 Rich are not always happy.
正 The rich are not always happy.
析 在形容词前加定冠词表示一类人 而在姓的前面加定冠
词 姓后加s表示某一家 如 The turners are going to move to
New York. 误 I like to eat bread for breakfast. Bread sells in this shop is
very good.

days.(他在医院住院两天了。而 He went to the hospital to see
his mother.他去医院看望他的母亲。

正 I bought the same dictionary as she bought. 析 在惯用法the same, the only, the very前的定冠词不可换
为不定冠词。
误 The police caught the thief by his arm.
正 The police caught the thief by the arm.
析 这是英文表达法与中文的明显不同之处 也是初学者极易
忽视之处。在英语中的某些动词 如 catch(抓
take(拿
strike (打,pat(拍 hit(击 hold(握 pull(拉…动词后应加人
再加介词on, by, in, with…之后要加定冠词 再加人体的某一部
位。这时的定冠词千万不要换作his, her, their, 等词。

是按小时计算的。

车by taxi (坐出租车by bike (骑自行车by water (乘船by air
(乘飞机by sea (乘船

bed(睡觉等 但
去看电影则例外 要用go to the cinema.这也是语言的一个特
点。
误 I live at 105 the Lake street. 正 I live at 105 Lake Street.
析 街道名称前不用冠词。
误 Next summer holiday I will go to country to live on a farm.
正 Next summer holiday I will go to the country to live on a

冠词 而且只有单数形式 作国家讲时则可有复数形式。如

三、 代词
(一 知识概要
英语中代词可以分为人称代词、物主代词、反身代词、指示代
词、疑问代词、不定代词。 人称代词主要有主格和宾格之别。
请看下表
人称 我 你 他 她 它 我们 你们 他们
主格 i you he she it we you they
宾格 me you him her it us you them 物主代词分形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词两种。请看下
表
人称 我的 你的 他的 她的 它的 我们的 你们的 他们的形容词性 my your his her its ours your they
名词性 mine yours his hers its ours yours theirs 反身代词可见下表
人称 我 你 他 她 它 我们 你们 他们
反身代词 myself yourself himself herself itself ourselves
yourself themselves
指示代词主要有this, that, these, those
疑问代词有 who, whom whose, what, which,
还有疑问副词when, how, where, why。
不定代词在初中课本中主要有some, any many, much, each,
neither, other, another, all, both, one, none, either…
(二 正误辨析
误 Tom's mother is taller than my.
正 Tom's mother is taller than mine.
析 形容词性物主代词可以作定语 也就是讲它可以作形容
词 如 my book 而这句话的意思是 汤姆的妈妈比我的妈妈
高。比较的对象是my mother,也就是mine。
误 We have a lot of homework to do today. So we need two or
three hours to finish them. 正 We have a lot of homework to do today. So we need two or
three hours to finish it.
析 在应用代词时 要注意人称 格与数的一致性。这里it所
代替的是不可数名词homework 所以应用it。
误 He and you should go to the library to
return the books.
正 You and he should go to the library to
return the books.
析 这主要是英语习惯上的用法。当两个以上的人称代词并列
时其排列顺序一般为you, he, she, I,而复数时为we, you they:
如男女并列时 应先男后女 如 He and she …如果在表示不
好意思 承担责仸时 单数时用 I, he, she, you, 复数时用They,
you we, 如 Tom and I are good friends.
You, he and I must go to play the game for our team this
afternoon.
We, you and they have been there before.
I, he and you have to pay for it.
误 He or his brother is doing their homework. 正 He or his brother is doing his homework.
析 由either…or, neither…nor, or 连接两个主语时 如果两主
语是单数时 用单数代词 如两主语是复数时 用复数代词
如 Either teachers or students want to do their best to help the
old man.如是一单一复两名词时 一般将单数名词放在前 复
数名词放在后 要用复数代词 如 The teacher or his students will clean their classroom together.
误 His brother is taller than him.
正 His brother is taller than he.
析 than是连词 其后应视为省略句 than he is.所以要注意区
分其主格与宾格的用法。
I like you as much as she.
正 I like you as much as her.
析 as…as 其后也应看作是省略句。应为as I like her.所以应
用宾格。而第一句应译为我像她那样喜欢你。两句语法都是对
的但含义不同。
误 Myself did it yesterday.
正 I myself did it yesterday.
正 I did it myself yesterday.
析 反身代词不可作主语 但可以用作主语的同位语。
误 Take care of ourselves.
正 Take care of yourselves .(yourself
析 祈始句的主语应看作第二人称you.
误 Please bring your daughter with yourself.
正 Please bring your daughter with you.
析 反身代词不能作介词宾语 除非是由不及物动词与介词组
成的动词短语 如 The old woman spoke to herself. 误 Make yourself home. 正 Make yourself at home.
析 这是英语中的习惯用法 意为“像在家里一样”。这样的用
法还有
enjoy oneself 玩得开心make yourself at home 像在家中一样
help yourself to something 自己拿某物lost oneself 迷路
seat oneself 就坐dress oneself 穿衣
误 — Who's this speaking.— That's Mary.
正 — Who's that speaking.— This is Mary.
析 在电话用语中 this指讲话人自己 而that指对方。
误 The days in summer are longer than this in winter.
正 The days in summer are longer than those in winter.
析 在比较句中往往为了避免重复 可以用that或those取代
前面提到的事物 如是单数时用that,复数时用those 如 The
weather in Beijing is hotter than that in Chang Chun.
误 It is so a good book that everyone likes to read.
正 It is such a good book that everyone likes to read.
正 It is so good a book that everyone likes to read.
析 在可数名词单数时可用so+形容词+不定冠词+名词+that
仍句 也可用such+不定冠词+形容词+that仍句。在不可数名
词或可数名词复数时 只用such, 如 It is such good weather
that I want to go swimming. They are such good books that I
want to buy them all.在many, much, few, little这4个词前仅能用so,如 She has so much money that she can buy everything
she wants.而在so与that之间仅存形容词时 则不能用such,
如:She is so sweet that everyone likes her.
误 I want to buy a same dictionary as yours.
正 I want to buy the same dictionary as yours. 析 same与定冠词the是固定搭配不可更改。这样的用法还有
all the same(仌然。
误 — I hope she might pass the exam.— I don't hope so.
正 — I hope she might pass the exam.— I hope not.
析 在作肯定回答时 I think so. I hope so. I believe so.但作否
定回答时为 I don't think so. I hope/believe not. 误 — He studied very hard this term.— So she did.
正 — He studied very hard this term.— So did she.
误 — English is difficult to learn.— So is it.
正 — English is difficult to learn.— So it is.
析 在对话中如果某一动作同时适用于两个主语 这时在答语
中要用缩写且要用倒装句。如第一组句 即studied hard 既适
用于he,也适用于she.但答语仅仅是对前句的重复 即仅仅是
第一句的缩写时则不要用倒装句。如第二组句子为 英语难
学。答语为 是的 难学。这时缩写的答语不要用倒装句。
误 Everyone should do one's best.
正 Everyone should do his best. 析 one作代词时 它的复数形式是ones,所有格形式是one's
反身代词为oneself.如果讲One should do one's best.则是对
句。如果one与别的词组成其他词 如 someone, anyone,
everyone或only one 则要用his/her 来作其所有格形式。
误 — Who won the game?— None.
正 — Who won the game?— No one.
析 由who提问的句子的否定回答中的简略说法是no one,而
由How many提问的句子的否定回答中的简略语是None.如
How many books are there? None.
误 There are many trees on either sides of the street.
正 There are many trees on either side of the street.
正 There are many trees on both sides of the street.
析 either作代词时由两个含意 其一是两者中随便哪一个
如 You can take either.其二是两者中的每一个。但要注意的是
either后要加单数名词 如果作主语则谓语动词也要用单数形
式。
误 Either you or I are right.
正 Either you or I am right.
析 在either…or,或neither…nor连接两个主语时 其谓语动
词要与和其相近的那个主语相配。
误 I have three sisters. Neither of them is a doctor.
正 I have three sisters. None of them is a doctor. 析 neither用于两者中无一是 而none则用于多于两者中的
人或事物无一是。
误 He doesn't like Beijing opera. I don't like too.
正 He doesn't like Beijing opera, I don't like either.
析 either作为“也”讲时 要用于否定句中 而too 则用于肯定
句中。
