托福写作之常犯语法错误
1、主谓不一致
例. 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).
2、词性不一致
“词性不一致”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等。
例. None can negative the importance of money.
剖析:negative 系形容词,误作动词。
改为:None can deny the importance of money.
3、句子前后不一致
托福写作中的句子前后不一致是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通,这也是考生常犯的毛病。
例. The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.
剖析:The fresh water 与逗号后的it 不连贯。It 与things 在数方面不一致。
改为:Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.
4、指代对象不一致
这里的指代对象不一致主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。把这一项单独提出来是因为大家实在很青睐这一部分:
例. Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid. (玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。)
剖析:读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。
改为:Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.
例. And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.
剖析:句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不一致。
改为:We can also know society by serving it ourselves.
