[误]The children wear very good cloth to go to school today.

[正]The children wear very good clothes to go to school today.

[析]英文中cloth,clothes,clothing是易混之词：cloth是物质名词，意为“布”，没有复数形式，而clothing是指衣物的总称，也没有复数形式。clothes是指衣服，但没有单数形式，如：This clothing is needed in warm countries. Her clothes are made of fine cloth.英文中的dress则指较正规的服装，如：a school dress 校服，an evening dress晚礼服。

[误]I like to study the English.

[正]I like to study English.

[析]作为一种学科名词前不要用冠词，而作为某一特指学科则要加冠词，如：I like to study history. I like to study the history of America.

[误]The Browns is going to visit China.

[正]The Browns are going to visit China.

[析]定冠词加姓加s，则意为“Brown先生一家人”。所以应用复数谓语动词。此句应译为：Brown先生一家将要访问中国。

(三) 例题解析

1. Lucy and Lily___in the same class.

A.     am  B. is  C. are  D. be

[答案]C.

[析]由and连接两个单数名词作主语时应按复数名词来搭配谓语动词。

2. Which is the ___to the bus stop， please?

A  road B  way C street D address

[答案]B.

[析]这是考察同意词辨析，road是指较宽阔的大道，意为“乡间公路”，而street意为道路两边的建筑物较高，可视为街道之意，而way则多为要到达某地所要经过的途径，还可引深为方式、方法。而address则为“地址”。如：There is a car running along the country road. ?I live at 105 Park street. Can you show me the way to the National Museum?

3. Hurry up!There is___ time left.

A little  B  a little  C  few  D  a few

[答案]A.

[析]因time作为时间讲为不可数名词，所以不可用few，a few来修饰。另外，英文的表达法与中文不同，中文讲，快点，时间不多了，而英文要讲，快点，没时间了。因此，要用little而不用a little.
