英语语法错点大全(二)

3. 你知道thank / appreciate的搭配习惯吗

a. He ______ her for her help and then left.

b. He ______ her help and then left.

A. thanked, thanked                                                               B. appreciated, appreciated

C. thanked, appreciated                          D. appreciated, thanked

此题应选C。容易误选A。该题主要涉及表示“感激”的thank和appreciate的用法：

1. thank表示“感谢”, 习惯上只接“人”作宾语, 而不能接“事”作宾语：

谢谢你的帮助。

正：Thank you for your help.

误：Thank your help.

谢谢你的好意。

正：Thank you for your kindness.

误：Thank your kindness.

2. appreciate表示“感谢”, 则习惯上只能接“事”作宾语, 而不能接“人”作宾语(与thank的用法恰恰相反)：

谢谢你的好意。

正：I appreciate your kindness.

误：I appreciate you for your kindness.

顺便补充一点appeciate 值得注意的用法习惯：可接动名词作宾语(但习惯上不接不定式)：

能再次收到你的来信, 我们将十分感激。

正：We shall appreciate hearing from you again.

误：We shall appreciate to hear from you again.

4. bed前用介词和冠词有何习惯

a. It is a bad habit to read ______ bed.

b. It is a bad habit to read ______ the bed.

A. in, in                   B. on, on                  C. in, on                  D. on, in

此题应选C, 容易误选A, B。关于bed(床)这个词, 要特别注意它与冠词和介词连用的情况：

1. 一般说来, 表示与“睡觉”这一概念有关时, 通常不用冠词或其它限定词, 反之则用：

It is too early for bed. 现在睡觉太早了。

He went to bed at ten last night. 他昨晚10点上床睡觉。

He went to the bed and found a letter on it. 他走到床边, 发现上面放着一封信。

He sat by the bed, watching TV. 他坐在床边看电视。

2. 与介词in连用时, 习惯上不用冠词; 而与介词 on连用时, 习惯上要有冠词：

He is still in bed. 他还在睡觉。

He is sick in bed with a cold. 他因感冒而卧床。

There is a box on the bed. 床上有个盒子。

有时两者都可以用, 只是搭配不同而已：

躺在床上看书是个坏习惯。

正：It is a bad habit to read in bed.

正：It is a bad habit to read on a [the] bed.

3. 与介词into, out of 等连用时也通常不用冠词：

He got into bed quickly. 他很快上了床。

He jumped out of bed as soon as he heard thebell. 他一听到铃声就跳下了床。
