48、的一种错误。例误:Manykinds of aircrafts were involved in the attack of the harbor.正:Manykinds of aircraft were involved in the attack of the harbor.分析:有些名词的单、复数相同。像这样的名词还有sheep,deer,fish,trout,means,Chinese,works(工厂)等。2、搭配错误词的搭配错误主要指名词、动词形容词与介词搭配错误。例误:Weaie paid in the month but they are paid in the day.千:W
49、eare paid by the month but they are paid by the day.分析:paysomebody by the month or by the day属固定搭配,意为”按月(按日)付酬。再如:Eggs are sold by the dozen.(鸡蛋论打卖)3、动词的语法错误动词的语法错误涉及动词的及物性和不及物性、动词的时态变化、动词的延时性和瞬时性、动词的同义性以及动词的语态特征等。例误:Theman dressing a black jacket is wearing a boy.正:Theman wearing a black jacket is
50、dressing a boy 分析:上面这句话不仅反映了动词的搭配关系,而且同时也反映了动词的延时性特征。Dress常用的结构是:bedressed in,dress oneself in和dresssomebody(给某人穿衣服),既可以表动作,也可以表状态。而wear一词只能表示状态,而不能表示动作。4、副词用法错误副词用法错误主要涉及到一些容易混淆的副词,例误:Hespent sometime working in the garden every day 正:Hespent some time working in the garden every day.分析:sometime是个副
