名人教你讲英文:... and me 还是... and I?
名人教英文:... and me 还是... and I?
英语错误不单在又长又复杂的句子出现,简单句子也可能出错。以下是我经常见到的错误。
◆错误1:I and Jane went to the cinema.
英语惯用 ...and I 而非I and...。“我和阿珍去看电影”应该说成 Jane and I went to the cinema。
◆错误2:Jane and me went to the cinema.
I是主语,me是宾语。只要抽起Jane and两字,就很容易察觉到Me went to the cinema文法不对。“我”是上述句子的主语,因此该说 Jane and I。
再举一例:John invited Jane and I to his birthday party也不正确。“我”是这句的宾语,正确句子为John invited Jane and me to his birthday party。
◆错误3:"I don't like coffee." "Me too."
这例子的错处不在me,而在too。
别人说I like coffee,可以答Me too来表示 I like coffee, too。Me too是约定俗成的口语。虽然理论上“我”是主语,可是没有什么人会说I too。另一常用的表达方式是So do I。
不过,too只可以用于响应肯定句(affirmative sentence)。I don't like coffee为否定句(negative sentence),要表示“我也不(喜欢咖啡)”,不能答Me too,应该答Me neither、Neither do I或I don't either。
◆错误4:We will meet on next Tuesday.
这句要删去on。表示时间的用语通常配特定的前置词,如:
They had a meeting in October.
The shop is closed on Saturdays.
The accident happened on Thursday morning.
然而,last / next/ this/ every之前不用前置词,例如:
She went to Shanghai last December.
He goes to church every Sunday.
I'll call you this evening.
They will come back next week.
英语单词词汇学习:
affirmative……肯定的
negative……否定的
neither……也不
either……也(表示否定时和don't、won't等否定语连用)
