银川海派英语SAT语法中的常见错误总结

SAT语法真题中的错误1、代词指代错误：代词的性、数、格;比较特别考点是one 和you 不能相互指代例：Even with(A) a calculator, you must have a basic understanding(B)of mathematics if one expects(C) to solve complex problems correctly. No error(E)分析：本题第一个代词是you,所以C错，应改为you expect。

因为one和you 不能互相指代SAT语法真题中的错误2、主谓一致错误：常见错误类型，比较简单送分题。

例：The bright (A)fiberglass sculptures of Luis Jimenez has received (B)critical acclaim not only (C) in his home state, New Mexico, but also in (D)New York.分析：本题显然主语sculptures是个复数而谓语动词has是个单数,所以主谓不一致，应该把B 改为have receivedSAT语法真题中的错误3、平行并列题型例：Each time Caroline turns on her computers, she has(A) to enter a company code, then her initials, and then enters a password (B)before she can begin working(C). No error(D)分析：B enters a password 前面出现了可爱的and,这个词决定了前后必须是平行并列，要求形式对称、概念对等、功能相同。

所以前面也应该有第三人称单数动词+名词的结构和enters a password并列，而前面出现的是her initials所以正确改法：去掉enters,这种考题在国内高考也经常考，这个考点因为出题频率特别的高。

十大常见的SAT语法错误良好的习惯就从细节做起

一、不一致所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致，它还包括了数的不一致时态不一致及代词不一致等。

例1. When one have money ，he can do what he want to . (人一旦有了钱，他就能想干什么就干什么。

) 剖析：one是单数第三人称，因而本句的have应改为has ;同理，want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致。

改为：Once one has money ，he can do what he wants (to do)二、修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)英语与汉语不同，同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置，句子的含义可能引起变化。

对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视，因而造成了不必要的误解。

例 1. I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus. 剖析：better位置不当，应置于句末。

三、句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)在口语中，交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等，不完整的句子完全可以被理解。

可是书面语就不同了，句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清，这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后，笔者又想加些补充说明时发生。

例1. There are many ways to know the society. Forexample by TV ，radio ，newspaper and so on . 剖析：本句后半部分”for example by TV ，radio ，newspaper and so on .“不是一个完整的句子，仅为一些不连贯的词语，不能独立成句。

改为：There are many ways to know society ，for example ，by TV ，radio ，and newspaper.四、悬垂修饰语(Dangling Modifiers)所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清。

SAT语法改错题基础知识汇总.doc

SAT 语法改错题基础知识汇总SAT 语法改革之后，语法改错题由简单的句子改进改成了篇章改错，这无疑是增加的SAT 语法改错题的难度。

下面编辑为大家总结了语法改错题的必备基础知识，希望对大家的语法改错题有所帮助。

1.动词SAT 改错动词里面主要考三个考点：主谓搭配一致;平行结构 ;时态语态一致。

主谓搭配一致主要就是指谓语的单复数要和它所对应的主语的单复数一致。

比如有这么一道题：The existence of consistent rules are(A) important if(B) a teacher wants to run(C) a classroom efficiently(D).NO ERROR(E)很明显这道题目当中主语是一个 A of B 结构The existence of consistent rules ，这种结构的中心词应该是前面一个词 A 即existence, 它是单数，而后面的谓语动词却是复数are ，所以主谓搭配不一致了，答案应该选 A. 再请看下面一道题：Like every other(A)sociological system, the commune has(B) a way of functioning that may be easily upset(C), either slightly or extreme(D). NO ERROR(E) 这道题目所考察的就是SAT 改错的平行结构，因为either or 所紧连接的两个词在语法功能和时态结构上应该保持一致，前面是副词slightly ，所以后面也应该是副词extremely. 答案选 D.时态和语态一致即指前后的时态和主被动的语态应该保持一致，比如：Many(A) biographers had stated(B) that Samuel Langhorne Clemens changed(C) his name to Mark Twain to echo the riverboat captain ascertaining the safe’ s call navigation(D) depth of the Mississippi River. NO ERROR(E)很明显这句话的主句应该是用一般过去时而不应该是过去完成时，所以答案应该选B, 将had 去掉。

SAT-OG语法部分错题总结-附详细讲解

Kyle 错题总结OG test 错题OG-test #1S615. Jerome often referred to(A) art history textbooks while he(B) was sculpting; whenever he learned a new method in art class, he seeks out(C) the work of sculptors19.

此题是典型的主谓一致题目。

But引导的分句的主语是my low grades，应该是复数。

SAT语法常见错误类型有哪些？

SAT语法常见错误类型有哪些？今天文都国际教育小编为大家整理了SAT语法中常见的错误，希望可以帮助同学们熟悉和记忆一些SAT语法改错题的常见错误，使大家能够更快更好的解答SAT语法改错题目。

代词指代错误：代词的性、数、格例：Even with (A) a calculator, you must have a basic understanding (B) of mathematics if one expects(C) to solve complex problems correctly. No error (E)分析：本题第一个代词是you,所以C错，应改为you expect。

因为one和you 不能互相指代主谓一致错误：常见错误类型，比较简单题型例：The bright (A) fiber glass sculptures of Luis Jimenez has received (B) critical acclaim not only (C) in his home state, New Mexico, but also in (D) New York.分析：本题显然主语sculptures是个复数而谓语动词has是个单数,所以主谓不一致，应该把B 改为have received平行并列题型错误例：Each time Caroline turns on her computers, she has (A) to enter a company code, then her initials, and then enters a password (B) before she can begin working(C). No error (D)分析：B enters a password 前面出现了可爱的and,这个词决定了前后必须是平行并列，要求形式对称、概念对等、功能相同。

所以前面也应该有第三人称单数动词+名词的结构和enters a password并列，而前面出现的是her initials所以正确改法：去掉enters,这种考题在国内高考也经常考，这个考点因为出题频率特别的高词性混用错误例：Although (A) the new device was the most clever (B) designed bird feeder that Ms. Rodriguez had ever owned (C), it could not keep squirrels from(D)stealing the birdseed. No error (E)分析：正确答案是B 修饰动词designed 的用adv. cleverly倒装错误例：Air pollution caused by industrial fumes has been studied(A) for years,but(B) only recently has(C) the harmful effects of noise pollution become (D)known. No error (E)分析：正确答案是C，本题考查的是倒装因为only +状语/状从要求引起倒装，而倒装后真的主语是effects所以C应改为have比较错误Just how(A) critical an improved balance of trade is to(B) a healthy economy has never been (C)more clearer(D) than it is now. No error(E)分析：本题考点很简单C more clearer应改为clearer以上是SAT考试中经常出现的SAT语法错误类型，希望大家在以后的备考中有所改进。

SAT语法句子改错题解析

SAT语法句子改错题解析SAT语法句子改错题规则有时和我们通常所学的语法书上的知识点有所出入，规则也不尽相同。

再次，SAT语法句子改错题的考察中，不仅仅会考到你是否能判断这个句子正确与否，而且会考到这个句子是否有效和简洁，这就大大提升了题目的难度。

下面小编整理的就是关于SAT语法句子改错题解析的相关内容，大家请看下面5个题：1. A patient accusing a doctor of malpractice will find it difficult to prove damage if there is a lack of some other doctor to testify about proper medical procedures.(A) if there is a lack of some other doctor to testify(B) unless there will be another doctor to testify(C) without another doctor's testimony(D) should there be no testimony from some other doctor(E) lacking another doctor to testify2. Samuel Sewall viewed marriage, as other seventeenth-century colonists, likea property arrangement rather than an emotional bond based on romantic love.(A) Samuel Sewall viewed marriage, as other seventeenth-century colonists, like a property arrangement rather than(B) As did other seventeenth-century colonists, Samuel Sewall viewed marriage to be a propertyarrangement rather than viewing it as(C) Samuel Sewall viewed marriage to be a property arrangement, like other seventeenth-centurycolonists, rather than viewing it as(D) Marriage to Samuel Sewall, like other seventeenth-century colonists, was viewed as a property arrangement rather than(E) Samuel Sewall, like other seventeenth-century colonists, viewed marriage as a property arrangement rather than3. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency is required either to approve individual state plans for controlling the discharge of wastes into underground water or that they enforce their own plan for states without adequate regulations.(A) that they enforce their(B) for enforcing their(C) they should enforce their(D) it should enforce its(E) to enforce its4. Last year, land values in most parts of the pinelands rose almost so fast. and in some parts even faster than what they did outside the pinelands.(A) so fast, and in some parts even faster than what they did(B) so fast, and in some parts even faster than, those(C) as fast, and in some parts even faster than, those(D) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than, those(E) as fast as, and in some parts even faster than what they did5. In the mid-1960's a newly installed radar warning system mistook the rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets.(A) rising of the moon as a massive missile attack by the Soviets(B) rising of the moon for a massive Soviet missile attack(C) moon rising to a massive missile attack by the Soviets(D) moon as it was rising for a massive Soviet missile attack(E) rise of the moon as a massive Soviet missile attackAnswer to Question 1Only C, the best choice, manages to convey the meaning of the sentence efficiently and idiomatically. Choices A and D are plagued by awkwardness and wordiness. Choice A also introduces the unidiomatic phrase lack of some other doctor. Choice B incorrectly uses a future-tense verb (will be) in the if clause; the if clause must use the present tense if it is preceded, as here, by a result clause that uses a future-tense verb (e.g., will find). Choice E introduces a dangling modifier: the lacking ... phrase cannot logically modify damage, the nearest noun.Answer to Question 2In E, the best choice, a modifying phrase begun by like immediately follows the name it modifies, Samuel Sewall. E also uses the idiomatic construction viewed marriage as.... Choice A inserts an adverbial modifier, as other... colonists, without the necessary did. It also uses the unidiomatic construction viewed marriage like .... Both B and C use the unidiomatic construction viewed marriage to be ....C incorrectly places the adjective phrase like other... colonists after the word arrangement, which it cannot logically modify.D offers a confusing and awkward passive construction marriage to. Samuel Sewall... was viewed....Answer to Question 3E, the best choice, is the only one that maintains grammatical parallelism by using an infinitive--to enforce—to complete the construction either to approve ... or.... All of the other choices offer syntactic structures that are not parallel to the infinitive phrase to approve. In addition, choices A, B, and C use plural pronouns (they and their) that have no grammatical referents.Answer to Question 4The properly completed sentence here must (1) use the proper form of the comparative conjunction, as fast as; (2) enclose the parenthetical statement and... even faster than in commas; and (3) preserve parallel structure, clarity of reference, and economy by using those to substitute for land values in the completed comparison. D, the best choice, does all these things correctly. A and B use so unidiomatically in place of as. A and E omit the comma needed after than and use the confusing and unparallel what they did instead of those. C omits the second as needed in the comparative conjunction as fast as.Answer to Question 5Choice B is best because it alone correctly handles the idiom to mistake x for y. Though choice D manages the correct preposition, for, the phrase the moon as it was rising for is less efficient and precise than the phrasing of choice B: since rising functions as a verb in D, the phrase for a massive... attack now seems to modify rising rather than mistook. Choice C incorrectly uses mistook... to, and choices A and E incorrectly use mistake ... as. Choice E also employs the nonidiomatic rise of the moon.以上就是小编整理的关于SAT语法句子改错题解析的相关内容，很多情况下SAT语法句子改错题不是让你选择一个完全正确的答案，而是让你选择一个最佳答案。
