一、用词或搭配不当

        1.Who is the writer of this novel? writer是“作家”，范围比较广；“作者”是author，指文章、小说、书本的作者，两者不可混淆。正确的表达为：Who is the author of this novel？
       2.I was too excited to go to bed. to go to bed是“就寝”、“上床”、“睡着”，“入睡”是to go to sleep，两者不可相混。正确的表达为：I was too excited to go to sleep。
       3.This is a good news. news是不可数名词，不加冠词。应为：This is good news。
       4.Don’t tell lie.“说谎”的习惯用法是tell a lie，也可用tell lies。类似的词组有to have a walk、to make a fun等。
       5.I hope you to come to school tomorrow. hope/demand/suggest/agree不能用不定式做宾补，应为：I hope you’ll come to school tomorrow。
       6.How are you? We think you very much.表达“想念”不能用think，应该用miss。
       7.We should notice our handwriting. notice表示“偶然注意到，偶然发现”，而此句要表达的是“重视”，因此，notice应改为pay attention to。
       8.We should take actions as quick as we can.句子中的谓语动词为行为动词，修饰行为动词应该用副词，因此，quick应改为quickly。

二、动词变化错误

       1.a.My hometown has taken place great changes in the past 10 years.
       b.My hometown took place great changes in the past 10 years.
       c.Great changes have been taken place in my hometown in the last ten years.
       in the past/last+一段时间表明句子的时态应该用现在完成时；take place为不及物动词，不能带宾语，也没有被动语态。以上三句应改为：Great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past/last ten years.
       2.I lay the book on the book-shelf a moment ago.lay是lie的过去式，作“躺”解，是不及物动词。表示“放”应用动词lay，它的过去式和过去分词都是laid。
       3.He has left Shanghai for a long time.leave是终止性动词，不能与表示延续时间的for a long time连用，此处应该用延续性动词来表达，例如has been away。
       4.He is going to come here next week.英语中表示“来”、“去”等有移动概念的动词，往往用现在进行时代替将来时态。如I am coming/I am leaving都表示未来的行为。此句应为：He is coming here next week.
       5.Mr. Wang has come to see you and he has left a note on your desk.现在完成时态说明动作的结果，而一般过去时态，除了动词to be以外，都说明动作。Mr. Wang has come是“王先生现在已经来了”，Mr. Wang came才是“王先生来过”；has left a note所表示的概念与has come to see you相同。如果此句改为“Mr. Wang has come to see you. He is now waiting downstairs”就是正确的。
       6.All that can be done have been done.句中的have应为has，all指事情或抽象概念时当作单数。例如：All is well that ends well. All is over with him. That’s all for today. all指人时才作复数，例如：All of us are interested in the study of English. All of us are doing our best in our English study.

三、成分不全，句型错误

       1.At the age of six, his parents passed away. at the age of 做状语，其逻辑主语要与句子的主语一致。这句话现在的意思是：“他父母在六岁时就去世了”，应改为：When he was six years old, his parents passed away.
       2.He always is forgetting to close the door. always/often/seldom/never等频度副词在句中做状语时，要放在实义动 词之前，be动词、助动词、情态动词之后，因此always应放在is之后。
       3.Judging by(from) his accent that he must be from the South. Judging by(from) his accent是独立成分，应该用逗号将其与独立子句分开。正确的表达为：Judging by(from) his accent, he must be from the South.其他类似的独立成分有honestly、generally、strictly、speaking等。
       4.I found impossible for us to agree with each other.正确的表达为：I found it impossible for us to agree with each other. it代替不定式复合结构for us to agree with each other。

四、介词和连词使用错误

       1.You must face to reality. face表“面向、面对”之义，后面不加to。此句应改为You must face reality.
       2.Don’t worry for such things.表示“为某事担忧”应用worry about或worry over，所以应改为Don’t worry about such things.
       3.Why did you keep silence in the meeting?表示“在会上”应用at the meeting.
       4.He is not so strong like you. not so后面应跟连词as，不能跟介词like，应改为：He is not so strong as you.
       5.Our English is not very good even we have studied six years.表示“尽管”、“即使”用even though或even if，不用even。even是副词而不是连词，此句应改为：Our English is not good even though we have studied six years.

五、写出中式英语

       1.Now is five o’clock. now做名词时主要位于介词后面，如from now on、up to now。除了“Now is the time”、“Now’s the opportunity”等习惯用语外，now一般不可以用作主语。表示时日、天气、距离等，now应用作副词，除特别加强语气外，应放在句尾才合乎英语习惯。这句话应改为：It is five o’clock now。
       2.Let me think a while.这句话从语法上看似乎通顺，但不合英语习惯，应改为“Let me see”。又如“Let me see, what ought to be done next”、“Now, let’s see”等。
       3.How much is the price of the book?正确的表达是：What’s the price of the book?或How much is the book?类似的结构还有：What’s the population of the city?
       4.Because it is snowing heavily, so I have to stay at home.一个句子有从句，就必须要有一个主句，because和so都是引导从句的连词，不能同时用，最简单的改法就是去掉so。这是受汉语思维影响常犯的一个错误。

六、单词拼写错误

       以下是一部分从学生的作文中摘录下来的经常写错的常用单词，供大家参考。括号中为正确拼写。
       befor(before)；forword(foreword)；immediatly(immediately)；mesure(measure)；acident(accident)；writed(written)；adress(address)；dificult(difficult)；efect(effect)；suport(support)；goverment(government)；libration(liberation)；orgernize(organize)；fiveth(fifth)；hieght(height)；bileive(believe)；dicide(decide)；porfesser(professor)；visiter(visitor)；Wensday(Wednesday)；importent(important)；cought(caught)；admited(admitted)；refering(referring)；truely(truly)；studyed(studied)；plaid(played)；heros(heroes)。
       书面表达能力是英语的基本运用能力之一，也是英语高考所注重考查的。因此，同学们在高三的复习过程中，一定要对书面表达给予足够的重视，练好写作基本功。下面对如何提高写作能力提出几点建议：
       1．单词是构成语言的基本材料，学习时一定要手脑并用，听读结合，减少写作中的拼写错误。
       2．背诵数十篇各种体裁的范文。近十年的英语高考中，考了看图写话20篇、书信（含E-mail）11篇、议论文6篇、记叙文4篇，在背诵范文时，可参考这一比例。
       3．建立错题集，把平常做错的题修改后抄下来，常读，以减少语言错误。
       4．每次写作文都要检查每个句子的结构，看主谓宾是否齐全，谓语的时态、语态是否正确等。
       5．学习英语时尽量用英语思维进行思考。
       6．养成良好的书写习惯，平常作业要书写工整，注意大小写和标点符号。
