初中英语易错知识点

Answer 1

1.大家都想知道昨天夜里他发生了什么事。
误： Everyone wants to know what was happened about him last night.
正： Everyone wants to know what happened to him last night.
解析：其一，happen是不及物动词，没有被动语态形式；其二，表示“某人发生某事”，用“happen to sb.”。
2.汤姆宁可待在家里也不愿和我们一起去看电影。
误： Tom preferred staying at home rather than going to the cinema with us.
正： Tom preferred to stay at home rather than go to the cinema with us
解析：prefer to... rather than...译为“宁可……也不愿……”后接动词原形，而prefer... to...中的“to”是介词，这两个词后面都接名词或动名词。如：
Tom preferrd staying at home to going to the cinema with us.
3.在我们班有五分之三的学生是女孩。
误： In our class three fifth of the students are girls.
正： In our class three fifths of the students are girls.
解析：英语分数的表达法是：分子用基数词，分母用序数词。当分子大于一时，分母的序数词后要加“s”。如：三分之一 one third，三分之二 two thirds。
4.经常听见露茜在隔壁唱歌。
误：Lucy is often heard sing in the next room.
正：Lucy is often heard to sing in the next room.
解析：see, hear, watch, feel等感官动词和let, make, have等使役动词后面接不定式作宾补时，主动语态中要省略“to”，而被动语态里则不能省略。又如：
The boy is often made to clean the classroom.
5.当我们到火车站时，火车已开走半小时了。
误： When we got to the station, the train had left for half an hour.
正： When we got to the station, the train had been away for half an hour.
解析：在英语中，短暂性动词和延续性动词可以用于完成时，但不能与表一段时间的状语连用。若后面需接一段时间，就要把该动词变成相应的延续性动词或短语。如：begin — be on, borrow — keep, buy — have, join — be in（be a...）, leave — be away, come — be stay, die — be dead, get to know — know。
