常见写作错误分析new

一．不一致D i s a g r e e m e n t s

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;

Sample 1:

Sample 2:

A driver should never race your motor without a warm-up.

Sample 3:

I was extremely sorry you are injured.

I am extremely sorry you are injured. 二．修饰语错位 Misplaced Modifiers

Misplaced and dangling are phrases that are not located properly in relation to the words they modify.

Misplaced modifiers lead to illogical sentences that are difficult to follow. Modifiers are associated with the closest word they could possibly belong to. When a modifier slips out of place, there arises confusion.

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．

Sample 5：

I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.

I believe I can do it well and I will know the world outside the campus better.

Sample 6:

A small book sat on the desk that Sarah had read.

能靠近被修饰语;

C.把那些很难安排位置的修饰语置于句首;

D.避免因为一个修饰语和句子中多个成份之

间存在潜在的修饰关系而引发歧义现象;

四．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．不完整句不具备完整主谓结构的句子;依赖于特定的语境,能够独立使用并有一

定的交际功能;常见错误包括：从属连词引起的破句,ing分词和不定式结构引起的错误,增添细节引起的破句和缺少主语或者谓语动词的破句; Sample 7:

★修改原则：改正从属连词引起的破句时,可以把该从句附属于其前或其后某个子句上;也可以去掉破句中的连词;
