call [误] i'll call at mr brown.
[正] i'll call on mr brown.
[误] i'll call on mr brown's home.
[正] i'll call at mr brown's home.
[析] 作"拜访"讲时,at后面接访问地点,而on后面接访问的人。
call on drop in visit
call on比较正式的为公务的访问,如:we were called on by the old students. 而drop in则是比较随便的走走,顺便拜访,如:
if you're free, drop in. 而visit则是更正式的外交访问或友好往来,如:my school's headmaster will visit america next week.
can [误] a blind man can not judge colours.
[正] a blind man cannot judge colours.
[误] i cann't call for you at ten.
[正] i can't call for you at ten.
[析] can的否定形式应为cannot或can't.
[误] it's only six o'clock. that mustn't be the postman.
[正] it's only six o'clock. that can't be the postman.
[析] must用来表示一种肯定的推断,如:she must h**e some problems. she keeps crying.
但在否定句中则要用can't, 要表示对过去的推测则要用"must+h**e+过去分词"的表达法,如:the lights h**e gone fuse must h**e blown.而对过去的否定推测则多用" can't +h**e+过去分词",如:
i don't think he can h**e heard you. call again.
[误] we could not help to laugh at once.
[正] we could not help laughing at once.
[正] we could not help but laugh at once.
[析] "couldn't help+动名词"表示禁不住做了某事。但could not help but与could not but后面要加不带to的不定式,意思都是不得不去做某事。如:
you could not (help) but respect him.
can be able to
can与be able to都可以用来表示能力,但can只有现在时与过去时,be able to则可用任何时态,如:he will be able to teach the child. 但要表示经过努力而达到的一次性动作则只能用be able to,如:
he finally was able to jump over 2 10 meters. 或:the plane was able to fly over the mountain.
但要注意的是这两个词都没有进行时态,而be able to后面不接不定式的被动态。
can could
can与could都可以用在现在时的口语中,只是用could更为礼貌,语气更委婉。如:could you tell us a story?
care [误] i don't care coffee.
[正] i don't care for coffee.
[误] take care for your steps.
[正] take care of your steps.
[析] care for是"对某物感兴趣",而care of是"关心,要当心某事",如:she didn't care for him. take care of what you are doing.
[误] i don't care where we will go if it doesn't rain.
[正] i don't care where we go if it doesn't rain.
[析] 在it doesn't matter, i don't care, i don't mind, 及in case引出的状语从句后面要用现在时表示将来。如:i've got a football in case we h**e time for a game.
change
[误] i want to change my camera with that one.
[正] i want to change my camera for that one.
[析] change for为"以某物为交换物"。而change with则是"随……而变",如:the wood's colour changed with the season.
cheap
[误] a teacher's salary is generally very cheap.
[正] a teacher's salary is generally very low.
[析] 工资的高低要用low,cheap是指**便宜,如果要讲物美价廉则要用not expensive, 如:this car is not expensive.
choose
[误] we each had to h**e a choose of a or b.
[正] we each had to h**e a choice of a or b.
[析] choice是名词,而choose是动词。
class
[误] the class is watching tv.
[正] the class are watching tv.
[析] class作主语时,如果作为整体讲则应用单数形式的谓语动词,如:the class was more than forty in number. 如考虑到具体的每个成员时则应用复数形式的谓语动词,如:
the class are, in general, very bright.
clean
[误] sorry, i didn't bought it here. i cleanly forgot.
[正] sorry, i didn't bought it here. i clean forgot.
[析] clean可以作为副词讲,其意为"完全",而cleanly则意为"正确地"、"干净利落地",如:the knife doesn't cut cleanly. 而clean作为形容词讲时意为"清洁的"、"干净的",如:
her face is not clean now.
clever
[误] i'm not clever in english.
[正] i'm not clever at english.
[析] clever at是固定搭配,表示在某方面有特长。
close
[误] it is cold outside. please keep the door close.
[正] it is cold outside. please keep the door closed.
[析] 这里的close是动词,意为"关闭",而keep后要加形容词,所以要用close的过去分词形式closed作形容词。作形容词用的close意为"近的"、"亲密的"。
[误] come closely so that i can see you.
[正] come close so that i can see you.
[误] good teaching and good testing are close related.
[正] good teaching and good testing are closely related.
[析] close,closely同样可以作副词用,但其意义不同,close是"靠近"、"接近"之意,而closely则是"紧密"、"严密"、"密切"之意。
[误] my school was quite close from my home.
[正] my school was quite close to my home.
[析] "与……接近"是close to…,例如:
he was close to fifty.
there is a bus stop close to the station.
close shut turn
shut与close是同义词,如close the door或shut the door. 但要讲把某人关在门外时则只能用shut somebody out而不能用close,因shut语气较强,并含有隔离之意。而turn off是指关上电视、电灯、煤气之类,有切断之意。
cloth
[误] the children wear very good cloth to go to school.
[正] the children wear very good clothes to go to school.
[误] i need a lot of clothing.
i'm going to make a new cloth.
[正] i need a lot of cloth.
i'm going to make a new dress.
[析] cloth是"布"、"布料",没有复数形式。一块布料是a piece of cloth, 而clothes统指衣服,是复数名词,"一套衣服"要讲a suit of clothes, 如果是"一件件衣服"应讲shirt, dress, sweater等。而clothing是衣物的总称,是不可数名词。
例如:this clothing is needed in warm clothes are made of fine cloth. 英语中的dress是指比较正式的服装,如a school dress(校服),a student dress(学生套装),a working dress(工作服)。
