中学生英语学习常见错误--动词
[误] She laid down and soon fell asleep.
[正] She lay down and soon fell asleep.
[析]考试中常出现的是易混动词lay放,lie躺,lie说谎。它们的过去时、过去分词和现在分词变化如下:
lay (放) laid, laid, laying (及物动词)
lie (躺) lay, lain, lying (不及物动词)
lie (说谎) lied, lied, lying
[误] Please rise your hand.
[正] Please raise your hand.
[析] rise 是不及物动词,其后不能接宾语,如:The sun rises in the east.而raise是及物动词。
[误] I like to swim very much, but I don't like swimming this afternoon.
[正] I like swimming very much, but I don't like to swim this afternoon.
[析] like作为"喜欢"讲时,可以接动名词也可以接不定式,但接动名词时多表达一种习惯性动作。而接不定式则侧重于表达一次性、特殊性的动作。
但要注意的是like 与would连用时则一定要接不定式,如:Would you like to go with me?再有一点要注意的是,
like作为介词"像"讲时,只能用分词作其宾语。
[误] Stop! Did you listen to a strange voice?
[正] Stop! Did you hear a strange voice?
[析] hear的侧重点是听到、听见什么,而listen to 的侧重点为听的倾向,如:listen! Do you hear someone calling help?这样的词还有look与see。
它们的侧重点也不同,look重于"看"的倾向,而see重于看见没看见。
[误] Did you watch some film recently?
[正] Did you see some film recently?
[析] 英语中see 与 watch 各有不同的用处,see用于看电影、剧目,而watch用作看电视和看球赛。
[误] Look. A beautiful lamp hanged from the ceiling.
