(二)熟记可数名词的复数形式变化及常用的不可数名词。
(三)注意可数名词在句中的用法,要么在其前加a、an或the,要么用它的复数形式。
(四)不能混淆修饰可数名词的词与修饰不可数名词的词。(只能修饰可数名词的有 few,a few,many,a number of,只能修饰不可数名词的有little,a little,much,an amount of, a great deal of,两者都可修饰的有some,any,a lot of,plenty of,a quantity of,masses of)

1.My parents want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I’ll get good marks in all my subject.
2.I once worked as night guard in a factory.
3.What a beautiful weather we are having recently!
4.More cattles have been raised on that farm since then.
5.If there are much more people in the world,there must be more food to feed people.
6.A little yards away stood an enemy with a gun in his hand.
7.Now Susan is paying visit to Henry’s family in Sydney.

9.Please give my best regard to your family.
10.Today if you go on board the ship or the plane,you will see signs and notice that will give you some useful information and warnings.
二、动词
(一)看句子结构。英语中每个句子都有谓语,且由动词来担任,所以不能没有谓语或把其它词性看作动词用作谓语,也不能把动词看作其它词性。
(二)时态。特别要注意动词的过去式,及过去分词的拼写。
(三)语态。英语中有两种语态,主动语态和被动语态,不及物动词没有被动语态。须熟记take place,happen,occur,break out,break forth,fall,rise,die,lie,appear等常见的不及物动词。
(四)一致。包括与前面主语人称和数的一致以及几个动词的结构一致。
(五)正确选用非谓语动词。
(六)不能错用动词。其中有一条是根据上下文的逻辑关系将这个动词改为它的反义词,譬如把go,arrive,open,borrow,take,sell依次改成come,leave,close,lend(return),bring(give),buy。
(七)注意固定搭配。
三、形容词和副词
(一)分清形容词和副词,譬如某些以-ly结尾的词是形容词而不是副词。例如:friendly,lively,lovely,lonely,likely,deadly,silly,orderly,timely等。
(二)正确选择形容词或副词,注意两者不同的作用:形容词修饰名词,作定语;置于系动词后,作表语;还常作一些动词的宾补。副词修饰动词、形容词、其它副词、全句或名词词组及介词,作状语。
(三)注意形容词和副词的一些特殊情况。譬如:ill,content,afraid,alike,alive,alone, asleep,awake,worth等表语形容词,它们只作表语,不作前置定语,并有固定的副词来修饰它们。例如:well content,all/very much alone, sound /fast asleep,wide awake,well worth等。有些副词有两种形式,一个与形容词同形,一个以形容词加-ly构成,但它们有不同的含义。例如:close /closely,free /freely,high /highly,wide /widely,deep /deeply,hard /hardly,most /mostly等。
(四)要分清不同类的“级”,以免混淆。
四、代词
(一)人称代词应注意:(1)不能错用格;(2)上下文单复数一致;(3)上下文阴阳性一致。
(二)指示代词应注意:(1)this,that表示单数;these,those表示复数;(2)this,that可作副词用,意思相当于so;(3)such,same多用于固定结构,例如:such...as /that,the same...as /that。
(三)关系代词不能跟关系副词混在一起。
(四)熟记常用的不定代词,如one,all, both,either,neither,each,many,much,little, few,other,another,something,anything,noth- ing等。并注意以下几点:(1)这些词本身不同的词义;(2)若在定语从句中作先行词,关系代词应用that;(3)something,anything,nothing常看作单数,代词用it,修饰它们的形容词应后置。
五、数词
(一)注意hundred,thousand,million,billion,dozen,score等词表示确切数和不确切数时的用法。
(二)表示哪个世纪,哪个年代以及某人几十几岁时的表达方式。
(三)在与基数词构成的复合形容词中,名词用单数。
(四)序数词、分数及百分数的正确表示。
(五)熟记forty,fifty和ninth,twelfth等容易发生拼写错误的基数词和序数词。
六、连词
连词分从属连词和并列连词,答题时需注意:
(一)根据全文逻辑发展顺序正确选择并列连词或从属连词。
(二)从属连词如because与so,though / although与but,if与and /or等不能同时使用。
(三)正确使用并列连词and,or,but和 for。
七、介词
(一)英语中的介词多为固定搭配,须熟记。特别是要熟记形容词短语、动词短语和介词短语中的介词。
(二)有关介词的改错题经常以多用介词或少用介词的形式出现。
八、冠词
(一)a,an,the在单数可数名词前的用法。
(二)熟记用或不用冠词的一些特殊情况。
示例:
(I)
If someone asks you how you can make you always 1. ________
happy, you will perhaps find rather difficult to give him 2. ________
a proper answer. Did you remember the old saying“No 3. ________
human being can really happy who is not giving or trying 4. ________
to give happiness to others”? If you will always think of 5. ________
taking more from others and give them less, you won’t be 6. ________
able to have happiness in your life even you are very rich. 7. ________
Here’s an article for you. If each of you follow it, there 8. ________
will be an end to many unhappy days of yours. So you should 9. ________
learn to give up your own interests when necessarily to do so. 10. ________
(II)
When my father bought me a computer as a birthday gift for 1. ________
me in last year, I felt very exited. As we all know, computers 2. ________
are getting more and more usefully now. Much information can 3. ________
be stored in them. We can also learn that has lately happened 4. ________
in the world on the Internet. In the past, people had to do lots of 5. _______
work which was very dangerous. Now, but, computers can do it 6. ________
instead. When an exam is coming, I often did some exercises 7. ________
on my computer. Then it will correct it and tell me the right 8. ________
answers. In this way it is very convenient for me to prepare 9. ________
the exam than before. The computer has become my real friend. 10. ________
[答案与解析]
I. 1. you→yourself。make oneself happy“使自己高兴”,是习惯用法。2. find后加it。it为形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语。3. Did→Do。用一般现在时表示“经常”。4. can后加be。情态动词后应加动词原形再加形容词。5.去掉will。6. give→giving。giving与taking并列作介词of的宾语。7. even后加though或if。even though / if为从属连词,意为“即使,纵然”,引导让步状语从句。8. follow→follows 9.本行无错。10. necessarily→necessary。完整形式应为when it is necessary to do so。
II. 1.去掉me。间接宾语me已经与for构成介词短语写在了后面。2.去掉in。3. usefully→useful。get后用形容词作表语。4. that→what。what引导宾语从句且在从句中用作主语,而that不能充当宾语从句的主语。5.本行无错。6. but→however。however是副词,并用逗号与其它词隔开,而but为连词,连接并列句。7. did→do。前后时态照应。8. and前的it改为them。代指前面的exercises。9. very→more。more convenient...than before构成比较结构。10. the前加for。prepare for the exam意为“为考试作准备”
