[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 可以用来修饰可数名词和不可数名词。? [误] Please tell me where the shoes shop is?? [正] Please tell me where the shoe shop is.?
[析] 在用名词作修饰词来修饰另一名词时,这个作修饰词的名词应用单数形式,如:? a shoe shop 鞋店 a fruit shop 水果店 a book shop 书店? a post office 邮局 a police station 警察局 a bus stop 汽车站?
[误] He is weak at physics.? [正] He is weak in physics.?
[析] 在表达擅长于作某事时用be good at something,
