【Grammar 技巧】 4種 常犯 Grammar 錯誤
相信很多同學都想學好英文,但是又不知從何入手。學好英文的第一步,是要掌握好 英文 Grammar 技巧 和 用法,但其千變萬化相信很多同學不知道從何入手。今天將帶給大家4種 Grammar 常犯錯誤 和 Grammar 技巧 。 連接詞 伏位 3個易錯的so / so that / so as to 大家都一定用過 so 黎作句 咁你地又知唔知 so/so that/so as to 有咩分別呢? 今日就教大家分清楚,之後就唔會搞錯啦 1. so用以表達因果 so通常用以表達因果,「因為…所以…」,例如I am obese so I need to eat less. 因為我過重,所以我需要吃少點 2. so that 用以表達目的 so that表達的是目的,而不是結果,通常會配以can/ could/ will/ would使用 例如I do exercise regularly so that I can keep fit. 我規律地做運動,為的是保持健美身材 3. so as to 用以表達目的,但跟動詞 so as to同樣表達目的,但與so that不同的是,它後面會跟動詞,並且要是to-infinitive 例如I do exercise regularly so as not to gain weight. 我規律地做運動,為的是不增加體重 4. Only after, Only when 用法 唔知大家喺寫倒裝句嘅時候會唔會與到啲困難呢?今日就同大家講下兩個 only 的倒裝用法 分別是 only after 和 only when Only after 倒裝前:She realized she had done it wrong after she had stolen the wine. 倒裝後:Only after she had stolen the wine did she realize she had done it wrong. Only when 倒裝前:I felt excited when I had heard the good news. 倒裝後:Only when I had heard the good news did I feel excited. 要注意的是,倒裝前的前半句(after/when前)在倒裝後會變成did + subject + verb (present tense) Conditional Sentence 伏位 Conditionals (If 句式) 係一個實用嘅句式,但同時都好易用錯 而家就俾條題目考下大家對 Conditionals 嘅認識啦 先問下大家下面邊個係啱嘅? If he was you, he would not do it. If he were you, he would not do it. 以上邊一句先係正確呢? 正確答案係B,可能有同學會唔太記得,以下同大家 If 基本分4大類型,大家一定要隨時記得不同動詞嘅型態及用法 上面問大家嘅係 “假設” 嘅類別 (發生機率: 0%) 型態係: If you did it, you would do….. 用呢個類型嗰時要注意: If I were you, / If he were you (呢個時候應該要用 were ,而唔係was 。好多同學會寫錯的,記得要小心 好多人問點解會係用過去式 (past tense)? 因為past tense 除了表示 (i) 過去動作 ,亦可以表達 (ii) unreal past tense (不真實時都可以用) Adverb 伏位 好多時,同學可能會將Adjective同Adverb混淆而用錯了 以下會指出3個最常錯的Adverbs,等大家可以係寫作嘅時候避免犯錯 1. Late 如果我想寫「我遲到」,好多人會寫I come lately,但其實正確應該是I come late late可以同時是adjective和adverb,意思是指遲,而lately作為adverb意思會變成最近 2. High 如果我想寫「我飛得很高」,好多人會寫I fly highly,但正確應該是I fly high 同樣地,high可以同時是adjective和adverb,意思指高,而highly作為adverb是指高度 3. Wide 如果我想寫「我把門開得很大的」,好多人會寫I open the door widely,但正確應該是I open the door wide wide可以是adjective和adverb,表示空間寬度,而widely作為adverb是指廣泛地 Passive Voice 伏位 Passive Voice 同 Past Tense,你地可以分得清楚嗎? 以下就會介紹吓三大 Passive Voice 嘅伏位。 主語與賓語位置交換 The technician changed the tire. -> The technician was changed by the tire. (x) 應是: The tire was changed by the technician. (v) 誤以為 adjective 是 passive voice They are experienced teachers. 他們是經驗豐富的教師。 呢度嘅 “experienced” 係形容詞,有人見到 “are experienced” ,就誤以為係passive voice,令到句子解釋出錯。 過份使用 passive voice 用到 passive voice 的確係英文能力嘅一種表現,但過份使用不但會令到文章表達出現問題,更會混淆讀者。 適當嘅使用,有助文章表達思想就足夠。(多用於report/formal writing) Passive voice 裡的動詞必要轉換 若果同學用 passive voice 嘅時候漏咗冇轉動詞嘅時態,就會有 grammar 錯誤 例如: The floor is mop by me. (x) 祇是: The floor is mopped by me. (v) Past participle 而非 simple past 同學平時接觸到嘅英文詞多數都係 “ed” 尾,可能就會俾到個錯嘅印象俾同學,以為係simple past tense,但應該係past participle (PP) 先啱 例如: The pencil was took by Peter. (x) 應是: The pencil was taken by Peter (v) *大家要重溫少用的pp形態,例如 (seek – sought -sought / sweep – swept – swept / deal – dealt – dealt 等) 唔用得 Passive voice 嘅情況 有啲情境係唔可以亂咁加上 passive voice嘅,因為並唔係所有英文句子都由 SVO 構成,有啲唔會有 O 例如: She was gone out. (x) 應是: She went out. (v) 仲有start/finish等字都不可以用被動 (一般而言) Prepositions 錯誤 3prepositions 錯誤,等大家以後都可以分得清唔同 preposition應該運用嘅語境。 by / before 兩者都具有指定喺某一個時間點前嘅意思,例如: “You will need to get to the airport by/before 9:00 a.m.” 你需要在上午9點前到達機場。 但同 by 唔一樣,before 亦可以用作連接詞,呢個係 by 做唔到嘅,例如: It is advised that you read every single line of your contract before signing it. 在簽下合約前,建議你最好看清楚合約內容。 after / afterwards 緊接 after 之後,一定要用名詞或 gerund;若之後唔想加名詞,就可以用 afterwards,例如: He threw up after drinking heavily. 他在喝太多之後嘔了。 Don’t have a meal and do cardio immediately afterwards. 不要在吃飯之後馬上做有氧運動。 on / in 對於好多人嚟講,in 同 on 係一對好棘手嘅組合。in 嘅意思係喺某一物嘅裡面,而 on 就係解喺某一物嘅上面。 仲有另一種用法就係日期:某月某日應用 on,例如 “on July
