“流感式”语法错误

相信大家对流感并不陌生，流感即流行性感冒，在生活中十分常见。考生们所犯的语法错误就好像流感病毒一样，一发不可收拾。不少考生在面对“流感式”语法错误时，往往束手无策。实际上，任何一种语言都是有规则的，而不懂规则很容易犯错。老外可以不用学语法，因为那是他们的母语，你也把自己当老外?

雅思写作中出现语法错误，无论是在准确性，还是在连贯性上都要打折扣。那么，这些“流感式”语法错误都包括哪些内容呢?大家来看看自己有没有中招儿吧。

标点错误

逗号表示句子内部的一般性停顿。两个具有独立含义的句子，在没有连词的情况下简单地被一个逗号隔开是不正确的。改正这样的错误须用句号或分号代替逗号，或用并列连词（and，but，or，so，nor，yet）连接两个句子，或用从属连词（because，as，although等），否则会导致句子出现语法错误。

错例：Some people believe children in secondary school should study international news as a subject, others think that's a waste of time.

正解：Some people believe children in secondary school should study international news as a subject. However, others think that's a waste of time.

或：Some people believe children in secondary school should study international news as a subject, but others think that's a waste of time.

改错练习：

1．Students should do some housework, it is good for them to be independent.

2．They are far away from parents and friends, they can deal with everything by themselves.

双谓语

英语中一个简单句只能出现一个谓语动词，因为谓语必须由动词担任，但动词不一定做谓语，不少考生因受汉语习惯影响将非谓语动词做谓语使用，造成双谓语错误句型。切记确保一句中有且仅有一个谓语动词。

错例：It is unclear recycling can control pollution.

正解：It is unclear whether recycling can control pollution.

改错练习：

1．It is advertising makes us buy something impulsively.

2．There are two line charts show the unemployment rate fluctuates in China.

3．The percentage of families have one car increased greatly.

非谓语动词使用不当

非谓语动词是指在句子中不是谓语的动词，主要包括不定式、动名词和分词（现在分词和过去分词），即动词的非谓语形式。非谓语动词除了不能独立做谓语外，可以承担句子的其他成分。考生们往往会将非谓语动词的现在分词和过去分词使用混淆。

错例：Comparing with the money people earns, the sense of achievement is more important.

正解：Compared with the money people earns, the sense of achievement is more important.

改错练习：

1．Found him angry, I began to tell jokes.

2．Looking around, there was no one nearby.

3．When we reached the top of the mountain, we stopped having a rest before we went down the mountain.

4．Abraham Lincoln was considered being one of the greatest of all American presidents.

5．Charles and Linda do all of these things as well as climbed buildings.

to的误用

虽然介词 to 与动词不定式符号 to 在形式上相同，但用法不同。如果不注意区分，就会出现语法错误。

1) 介词to

错例：In addition to give a general introduction to computer, the course also provides practical experience.

正解：In addition to giving a general introduction to computer, the course also provides practical experience.

类似词组：adapt to due to pay attention to attach importance to

2) 不定式to

错例：People should be determined to holding on to this job whatever difficulties he might run into.

正解：People should be determined to hold on to this job whatever difficulties he might run into.

类似词组：in order to agree to decide to pretend to

改错练习：

1．You must adapt to live in international society.

2．The failure of the scheme was due to manage badly.

3．In order to maintaining physical well-being, a person should eat wholesome food and get sufficient exercise.

4．We hope you will pay attention to educate your children.

搭配混淆

英语是一门非常容易引起混淆的语言，明明两个单词之间只有一两个字母的差别，它们的意思却差之千里。或者相似的词组中介词不同，其含义也相差甚远。掌握这些容易混淆的固定搭配对于语言的准确性非常重要。如：

cannot help

I cannot help wondering about that girl.

我不免对那个女孩感到惊奇。

cannot help but

Due to the present price level, we cannot help but adjust our offer.

由于目前的价格情况，我方不得不调整报价。

类似词组：

改错练习：

1．We should be strict with(doing) our work.

2．The policy is beneficial to reinforce school discipline.

表述累赘

有些考生的句子一看就知道是为了使用高级词汇而犯下的错误，叠加各种词汇，明明已经用一个词表达了，又强行加上另一个表达相同意思的词或是不相干的词，这种做法只会适得其反。

错例：Internet plays an important and indispensible role in people's life today.

正解：Internet plays an indispensible role in people's life today.

改错练习：

1．I never knew that a ride down a river could be so much exciting.

2．I hope that both you two could come and visit us sometime soon.

3．I'll spend all the whole weekend reading and preparing for it.

4．A new building has been put up in our school, which is more higher than the old one.
