［误］ The foreigners like those little beautiful Chinese paintings.
［正］ The foreigners like those beautiful little Chinese paintings.
［析］ 在名词前若有几个形容词作修饰语时，其顺序如下。
1. 指示代词，定冠词 2. 数量词 3. 性质词 4. 大小 5. 形状 6. 老少，新旧 7. 颜色 8. 材料
但要注意的是英语的习惯是一个名词前的形容词一般不要多于三个。
如： What a pretty little white horse!
Those first few short English stories were not difficult to understand.
［误］ The best way to learn English good is to speak with Englishman every day.
［正］ The best way to learn English well is to speak with Englishman every day.
［析］ good是形容词，这里是修饰动词speak的，所以应用副词well，但well作形容词讲时只作身体好。如：He is well.(他身体很好)。He is good.(他是个好人)。
［误］ The children play on the grass nappyly.
［正］ The children play on the grass happily
［析］ 多音节y结尾的形容词变为副词时应将y变为i再加ly.
［误］ The teacher looked angry at the students.
［正］ The teacher looked angrily at the students.
［析］ 英语中感观动词后面要接形容词，这时它是修饰主语的，如：The food smells good.食物闻起来很香。The teacher looked angry 老师看起来很生气。 而此句的意思为："老师生气地看着学生"，所以应用副词形式。
［误］ He worked with me friendly.
［正］ He was friendly to me.
［析］ 不是所有结尾是ly的词都是副词，但friendly是形容词，这样的词还有lovely, lonely, costly, lively…monthly weekly…。但其中有些词既是副词，又是形容词，如：early, hourly, monthly…
［误］ You can speak free in front of your friends.
［正］ You can speak freely in front of your friends.
［析］ free作为形容词意为"自由的，有空闲的，免费的"。作为副词讲则是"免费"之意。而freely作为副词则是"自由的，随便的"。这些要注意的词还有：hard 努力，艰苦 hardly 几乎不 late 迟，晚lately 最近的，最新的 near 近 nearly 几乎like 像 likely 几乎
［误］ They must have arrived till now.
［正］ They must have arrived by now.
［析］ by now是用于表达到目前为止某一动作已经发生，所以应用瞬间动词。而till now是强调某一动作一直持续到现在，所以一定要用持续性动词。must have+过去分词是对过去某一事情所作的肯定推测。
［误］ Someone called you right now.
［正］ Someone called you just now.
［析］ just now有两个意思，其一是"刚才"，其二是"现在"，而right now只能用于现在的状态。just则用于完成时态，如： I have just finished my homework.
［误］ My father will be back from America at present.
［正］ My father will be back from America presently.
［析］ presently有两个意思：其一是最近，不久，其二在美语中是现在之意，与at present相同。而for the present为暂时，如： I teach English in the school for the present.
［误］ I'll be back at the moment.
［正］ I'll be back in a moment.
［析］ at the moment 其意为"现在，当时"，而in a moment意为"马上过一会"，与in a minute意思相近。
［误］ The train from Shanghai will arrive here in time.
［正］ The train from Shanghai will arrive here on time.
［析］ on time为"准时"，而in time有两个含意。其一是"及时"，如：The doctor arrived in time。其二是"将来，终究"。
［误］ I met an old friend sometimes last month.
［正］ I met an old friend sometime last month.
［析］ Sometime 过去，或者将来某时。Sometimes 有时
如： Sometimes I go to school by bus.Some time 一些时间
如： I need sometime to do my homework. Some times 几次
如： I went to Shanghai sometimes this month.
at times 有时，偶尔
at all times 经常
some other time 改天
［误］ I had met an old friend three days ago.
［正］ I had met an old friend three days before.
［正］ I met an old friend three days ago.
* ago 用在时间状语中时，主句中谓语动词一般用过去时，而before用于时间状语时则主句的谓语动词宜用完成时态。
［误］ He studied very hard. and at the end he passed the exam.
［正］ He studied very hard, and in the end he passed the exam.
［析］ in the end＝at last 意为"最终，终于"，表达经过若干努力而达到的结果。而at the end是在某事的结束时如何如何，如：At the end of class, the teacher gave us some story books。
［误］ I will come here to help you each three days.
［正］ I will come here to help you every three days.
［析］ every three days 为"每三天"，即每隔二天，而every other day为每隔一天。
［误］ He didn't go to the cinema yesterday. and I didn't go, too.
［正］ He didn't go to the cinema yesterday and I didn't go either.
［析］ 英语中表示"也"，有4个字，also, as well, too, either，但either用于否定句中，而前3个用于肯定句中。在肯定句中too与as well一般要用在句尾，而also则可用于句中。如：She went to the party and her boy friend went there too. 又如： I've also read her other novels.
［误］ We should help the poor girl in anyway.
［正］ We should help the poor girl in any way.
［析］ anyway为"不管怎么"讲，"无论如何"，如：What a terrible accident, anyway no one was hurt.
any way 为"任何方式"。这种常见的错误还发生在以下几组词中，如：
everyday 日常的 every day 每天
faraway 遥远的 far away 远离
altogether 总计 all together 一块，大家一起
already 已经 all ready 全准备好了
［误］ You can come to the doctor's at anytime.
［正］ You can come to the doctor's at any time.
［析］ anytime 是副词 而any time中的time是名词。
［误］ She said nearly nothing.
［正］ She said almost nothing.
［析］ nearly 与 almost的含意相近，在很多场合可以互换，但在否定词前用almost。
［误］ There are too much mistakes in your homework.
［正］ There are too many mistakes in your homework.
［析］ too much 后接不可数名词，如：There is too much water for the flowers. 而too many 后加可数名词，much too 后面加形容词，如：It is much too difficult to learn English well.
［误］ It is late enough that we can go home now.
［正］ It is late enough for us to go home now.
［析］ 要注意的是enough后面一般不接从句而接不定式，或不定式的复合结构：for somebody to do something。
［误］ The twins are very alike.
［正］ The twins are much alike.
［析］ 用a为首字母的形容词不能用very修饰，一般要用much来修饰。
［误］ - How long does he write to his parents?
- Once a week.
［正］ - How often does he write to his parents?
- Once a week.
［析］ 英文与中文表达法不同，隔多长时间办一次某事，实际上问的是该事发生的频率，所以要用how often。
［误］ As soon as I arrive in New York, I'll call up you.
［正］ As soon as I arrive in New York, I'll call you up.
［析］ 当动词词组的宾语是人称代词时则一定要放于动词之后，如果是名词则可以放在词组其后。如：I want to watch TV. Please turn on the TV. 也可以讲： Please turn the TV on.
［误］ He drove quickly his new car.
［正］ He drove his new car quickly.
［析］ 副词在句中的位置很活，但主要有以下几种用法：①实意动词之前，如：He quickly give me the answer. ② 在be动词之后，如：The little boy is often late for class. ③ 第一助动词之后，如：This book has almost been finished. ④ 在单独使用的be动词和助动词之前，如： Can you help me this afternoon? I certainly can.但是无论如何也不能将副词置于动词与宾语之间，如果是宾语从句或是很长的名词
词组作宾语则才可以这样用：
He heard clearly what the teacher said.
［误］ The children came late yesterday to the cinema.
［正］ The children came late to the cinema yesterday.
［析］ 表示一定长度的时间的副词不应放于句中，可放于句尾。如果表示强调则可放于句首。
［误］ You have few new books, haven't you?
［正］ you have few new books, have you?
［析］ 英语中的数量形容词有两组。修饰可数名词的有few(很少，几乎没有)，a few(有一些，几个)；修饰不可数名词的有little (很少，几乎没有)，a little(有一点，有一些)。要注意的是当few和little用于句中时应看作否定句，而 a few 和a little 用于句中时则应看作是肯定句。
［误］ He spent quite little money on his food.
［正］ He spent quite a little money on his food.
［析］ quite a 为一固定用法，其意为"十分，相当，所以"。 quite a few＝many, quite a little＝much 而only a little＝little, only a few=few.
［误］ Do you want to have many bread?
［正］ Do you want to have some bread?
［析］ some与any都可以用作形容词、副词或代词，在一般情况下，some用于肯定句，any用于疑问句和否定句，但在希望得到肯定答复时，应用some。 其次是some 可以用来修饰可数名词和不可数名词。
［误］ Please tell me where the shoes shop is?
［正］ Please tell me where the shoe shop is.
［析］ 在用名词作修饰词来修饰另一名词时，这个作修饰词的名词应用单数形式，如：
a shoe shop 鞋店
a fruit shop 水果店
a book shop 书店
a post office 邮局
a police station 警察局
a bus stop 汽车站
［误］ He is weak at physics.
［正］ He is weak in physics.
［析］ 在表达擅长于作某事时用be good at something, 而其反意词为be bad at something， 但be weak in something。
［误］ This dictionary is worth to buy.
［正］ This dictionary is worth buying.
［析］ be worth 后可接动、名词表达值得作某事，又可接价格、金钱表示值多少钱。
［误］ Don't afraid of that.
［正］ Don't be afraid of that.
［析］ afraid 在英文中是形容词而不是动词。这样的词组还有：
be afraid of 害怕 be careful of 小心
be certain of 有把握，确定 be sure of 确信
be glad of 高兴 be sick of 厌恶
be fond of 喜欢
［误］ The work has already been done well.
［正］ The work has already been well done.
［析］ well 与badly作副词时，表示好坏，如果句子是被动语态，则应放在过去分词之前，如：This machine has been badly damaged. 如果句子是主动语态，则应放于句末，如：I did my homework well.［误］ We are yet in the classroom now.
［正］ We are already in the classroom now.
［析］ already主要用于肯定句，而yet多用于否定句和疑问句中，如：
Did you finish it? No. not yet.
［误］ Look. Here comes he!
［正］ Look! Here he comes!
［误］ Look! Here the bus comes!
［正］ Look! Here comes the bus!
［析］ 在句子开头用Here时，如主语是人称代词则不要用倒装语序，如果主语是名词则要用倒装语序。
［误］ She is my older sister.
［正］ She is my elder sister.
［析］ elder 和eldest是用来指家庭中兄弟姐妹的长幼关系，而older, oldest 则是指岁数大多少，如：She is three years older than I.
［误］ I'm tired. I can't go further.
［正］ I'm tired. I can't go farther.
［析］ far有两个比较级 farther 较远的，further 进一步的，如：Do you need any further explanation? 你需要进一步的解释吗?当然它也有两个最高级。farthest和furthest.
［误］ I went to Beijing University five years before.
［正］ I went to Beijing University five years ago.
［析］ ago常与过去时连用，而before则多与完成时连用。
［误］ - Have you finished your homework?
- No, not already.
［正］ - Have you finished your homework?
- No, not yet.
［析］ 仍然有三个英文字可以表达它们是already， yet 与 still。 要注意的是 already经常用于肯定句中，如The bus has already gone。 而yet 多用于疑问句和否定句中，如：Have you finished your homework yet? 而still则常用于主语与谓语动词之间，如：We still can't decide what to do. 但也有时用于be 动词之后，如：He is still here.
［误］ He is very higher than I am.
［正］ He is much higher than I am.
［析］ much可以用来修饰比较级，而very则用来修饰形容词原级，如：I'm very tired.
［误］ - Can I walk to the station?- You'd better not. It is very far.
［正］ - Can I walk to the station?
- You'd better not, It is a long way.
［析］ for一般用在疑问句与否定句中，如：How far is it from here to the station? 又如：It isn't far.
［误］ I've ever been to America.
［正］ I've been to America once.
［析］ once 多用于肯定句，而ever则用于疑问句，否定句，及条件状语从句中，如：Have you ever been to London?
［误］ - Could you pass the exam this time?
- No, I am not afraid so.
［正］ - Could you pass the exam this time?
- No, I'm afraid not.
［析］ 在肯定的答语中我们可以用so来代替上句所讲的事件，如：Do you think she is a good student? Yes I think so, /I hope so, /I believe so/ I'm afraid so.但在否定的答语中，英语口语的习惯用法则有所不同，如，I don't think so 而在hope, belive 与 afraid后则常用not， 如：I hope not.
［误］ She didn't work enough hard, so she couldn't pass the exam.
［正］ She didn't work hard enough, so she couldn't pass the exam.
［析］ enough 可以作名词用，如：Enough has been said for how to learn English well. (对于如何学好英语已经讲的足够多了。)另外它可以作为形容词，如：I have enough money (or money enough) to buy this dictionary. 注意 enough作为形容词时即可放于名词前又可放于名词后，在初中范围的考题中多用于名词之前。如果enough 作为副词用，那么它一定要放在被修饰的形容词或副词之后。
［误］ You can't be very careful.
［正］ You can't be too careful.
［析］ 此句话的含意是你如何小心也不过分。too…to的用法是"太……以至于不能作某事"。但在实际应用时也常常将后面的to省去，如：It is too expensive for me.那对我来讲是太贵了。
［误］ He is good past fifty.
［正］ He is well past fifty.
［析］ well 作为副词用时除用于"好"之外还有"大大地、远远地"，等意。往往有人对下面两句的对或错有争议；
He is well.
He is good.
其实这两句都是正确的表达法，只不过其含意不同。He is well是"他身体不错"，而He is good 则为"他是个好人"。
［误］ She is not as half clever as her brother.
［正］ She is not half as clever as her brother.
［析］ 在as…as结构中要将修饰形容词的数量词倍数及nearly, almost, exactly… 等置于第一个as之前。
［误］ He is same age as Tom.
［正］ He is the same age as Tom.
［析］ the same…as是固定的用法，其中定冠词the是不可省也不能换成别的词的。
［误］ Mother and her daughter are exactly like.
［正］ Mother and her daughter are exactly alike.
* like 作为介词，其意为"像"，应用于 look like, be like, sound like, 其后要加宾语。而 alike 是形容词，或副词，如: You and I think alike. The twins are dressed alike。 但 alike 仅作表语而不能用于名词前作定语。
［误］ Who is taller of the two?
［正］ Who is the taller of the two?
［析］ 两者的比较级之前要加定冠词。
［误］ I have less books than Tom.
［正］ I have fewer books than Tom.
［析］ less 是 little的比较级，而fewer是few的比较级。less后应加不可数名词而fewer后是可数名词。
［误］ There are three girls in my group. The cleverer is Mary.
［正］ There are three girls in my group. The cleverest is Mary.
［析］ 在两者之间应用比较级，在三者之间或三者以上的范围内应用最高级。
［误］ The boy sat there as quiet as his sister.
［正］ The boy sat there as quietly as his sister.
［析］ as…as的用法要注意的是：①在其中间应加形容词或副词的原级，而不可加比较级，也有的语法书中称为同级比较。②要根据句意决定是加形容词还是副词，这要看它具体是修饰动词还是名词而定，如：He is as good as his friend.
［误］ The harder you study, and you can learn more.
［正］ The harder you study, the more you can learn.
［析］ 英文中如果要表达越来越怎样，在初中范围有两种表达法：①比较级+and+比较级。②定冠词+比较级……，如：The nights are getting longer and longer。 要注意的是多音节形容词的比较级前要加more，这样的用法是：more and more 加形容词，如：The girl is growing more and more beautiful.
［误］ Studying physics is not so interesting as to learn English.
［正］ Studying physics is not so interesting as learning English.
［析］ 在作比较时，英语一般要求对比的两部分结构应一致。如用动名词，应都用动名词，用不定式时则都用不定式。但有时在后一个不定式前的符号to可以省略。如：To repair the old one is as much expensive as (to) buy a new one.
［误］ The girl is more cleverer than the boy.
［正］ The girl is much more clever (much cleverer) than the boy.
［析］ clever有两个比较级：cleverer和more clever,要注意的是不能用比较级来修饰比较级。clever的两个比较级也各有不同之处，如用在两种不同性质的比较时多用more clever,如：He is more clever than honest. (他的聪明要远远超过其诚实。)
［析］ The boy is the tallest to the three.
［正］ The boy is the tallest of the three.
［析］ 最高级的范围要用of加复数形式或加集合名词。
［误］ This book is one of the most useful dictionary.
［正］ This book is one of the most useful dictionaries.
［析］ 在one of 后面最高级形容词后要加可数名词复数。
［误］ This dictionary is the much best one of the EnglishChinese dictionaries.
［正］ This dictionary is much the best one of the EnglishChinese dictionaries.
［析］ 在修饰最高级时应用 far/by far/much 加the加最高级。但very例外，如：He is the very best player in the team.
［误］ Shanghai is bigger than any other cities in China.
［正］ Shanghai is bigger than any other city in China.
［析］ 在比较级中表示比较对象时如用any other其后一般要加单数名词。
［误］ Most of stories in this book are written in English.
［正］ Most of the stories in this book are written in English.
［正］ Most stories in this book are written in English.
［析］ "大多数"一词的表达法有most of the +名词，或most+名词。当用前一种结构时，其后面的定冠词不可少。
［误］ The temperature of that room is higher than this room.
［正］ The temperature of that room is higher than that of this room.
［析］ 比较级用于两句话之间时，比较的部分不可省略掉，但为了避免重复，一般都要用that代替前面的单数名词，而用those代替前面的复数名词，如：The books in that box are bigger than those in this box。
［误］ He is no more here. Maybe he is at home.
［正］ He is no longer here. Maybe he is at home.
［析］ no more在现代英语中多译为："从此再也不会了"，如：His voice is no more here. 他已经去世了，他的声音不可能再出现了。而用no longer 表达目前的状态。要注意下面几组句子的实际含意：This room is no cleaner than that one.即两间屋子都不干净。(两者都不干净) This room is not cleaner than that one,即这屋子不如那间干净。(前者不如后者干净。即一间干净，一间不干净。)

C. are interested at D. are interesting to
［答案］ A.

A. more thin B. more thinner
C. much more thin D. much thinner

- Sorry, I can ＿＿＿ understand you.
A. hardly B. almost C. even D. ever

20 "＿＿＿ do you write to your penfriend?"

［析］ hard可用作形容词和副词，如：The desk was made of hard wood 又如：It is raining hard。 而 hardly 是副词，其词义是"几乎不"，如：Hardly did I sleep last night. 我昨晚几乎没有睡觉。而且hardly用于句首时要采用倒装语序。as…as即可以用于肯定句，也可以用于否定句，但so…as则只能用于否定句中。
23 It is very ＿＿＿ to listen to him.
A. interested B. interesting C. interested in D. interest
［答案］ B.

［析］ 这里应填入副词，而careless是由care加less后辍得来的，less意为"没有"，是否定之意，如：careless-不小心，homeless-无家可归。而carefully为副词。

［析］ 副词的最高级前可以加定冠词，也可以不加定冠词。

A. something interested B. something interesting

［析］ little修饰不可数名词，而a little意为"一些，一点"。
37 I have ＿＿＿ friends here and I often visit them.
A. few B. little C. a few D. a little

五、 连 词
(一) 知识概要
连词是一种在句子与句子之间，短语之间以及名词等其他词语之间起连接作用的虚词，它不能单独作句子的成份。按其意义可分为并列连词和从属连词两大类。并列连词连接的双方是对等的。常有的并列连词有and, both…and, either…or, neither…nor， not only…but also, as well as等。但如果连接的两部分意义不趋向一致，意义有转折的并列连词有：but, however, while (而)，only (只不过)。还有表示选择关系的并列连词，如：or, or else, otherwise… 再有的是连接双方，互为因果，或表示前因后果的连词有：for, so, therefore (因此)，then等。从属连词在初中范围内常常用来连接名词性从句，如：that, if, whether, 其次用来连接状语从句。其中有原因状语从句，常用的连接词有：when while, as, since, before, after, once, as soon as, until, till 连接条件状语的连词有：if, unless, as long as 等，而原因状语的连接词有because, since, as, now that (既然)。目的、结果、方式、比较、地点等状语从句的连接词有：so that, so…that, such…that, as…as, than, where… 它们在句子与文章中几乎无处不见。具体用法见下表。
连词用法一览表
种类 功用 例句
并列连词 连接具有并列关系的 词 He knows neither English nor French.
短语 Are you going by bus or on foot?
分句 Mary was a good girl, but she had one shortcoming.
从属连词 引导： 状语从句 I'll do it as you told me.
You will be late unless you hurry.
连接代词和连接副词 主语从句 What he said proved true.
When we'll start has not been decided yet.
表语从句 This is why he didn't come yesterday.
That is where he lives.
宾语从句 The man asked me which I liked best.
I can't understand why she is so late.
关系代词和关系副词 定语从句 Nicotine is a drug that gets one into the habit of smoking.
He came last night when I was out.
(二) 正误辨析
［误］ Both my parents are not here. They went to the concert just now.
［正］ Neither of my parents is here. They went to the concert just now.
［析］ 在英语中both一般用于肯定句中，如用于否定句中，其意义也不同于汉语，如：Both of us are not right. 在英语中应被理解为"我们俩不都对。"而Neither of us is right。 才能被理解为"我们俩无一正确"。
［误］ He or his parents has some tickets for the film.
［正］ He or his parents have some tickets for the film.
［析］ 由or 连接两主语时，谓语动词应与相临近的那一个主语保持一致。
［误］ You should study hard, and you won't pass the exam.
［正］ You should study hard, or you won't pass the exam.
［析］ or作为连词，这里的意思为"否则"。又如：Hurry up, or you'll be late for school.
［误］ Though he is poor, but he is ready to help others.
［正］ Though he is poor, he is ready to help others.
［正］ He is poor, but he is ready to help others.
［析］ "虽然……但是"是中文中的常用结构，但在英文中用了"虽然"则不要用"但是"，用了"但是"则不能再用"虽然"，二者只可用其一。
［误］ Either you or I are on duty.
［正］ Either you or I am on duty.
［析］ either…or 连接两个主语时，其谓语动词与相临近的一个主语相呼应，这也叫作就近原则。类似的用法还有or, neither… nor, not only…but also等。
［误］ Tom is our English teacher and teaching English in our school now.
［正］ Tom is our English teacher and is teaching English in our school now.
［析］ 并列句中常常在后面的句子中作一些省略，以免重复，但不是所有词都可作任意的省略的。当你连接的是两个系动词时，后面的那个系动词不可省略，也就是讲连接的部分不可省略。
［误］ My father likes swimming and to collect stamps.
［正］ My father likes swimming and collecting stamps.
［析］ 由并列连词连接的两个部分要保持相等的语法结构。如是动名词则都用动名词，如用不定式则都应用不定式，这是初学者要注意的一点。
［误］ My father is reading a newspaper, I am doing my homework.
［正］ My father is reading a newspaper while I am doing my homework.
［析］ 两个并列句中间不可用逗号连接，要用并列连词来连接。
［误］ My father asked me that if I wanted to learn how to drive.
［正］ My father asked me if I wanted to learn how to drive.
［析］ 宾语从句的连接词只能有一个不能重复使用。
［误］ We will go both to Beijing and Shanghai.
［正］ We will go to both Beijing and Shanghai.
［析］ 用both…and…作连接词时，其相连接的部分结构也要相同。
［误］ Not only Mary but also her brothers is going to dance.
［正］ Not only Mary but also her brothers are going to dance.
［析］ 由not only… but also…连接两个主语时，其重点在其后面的那一个主语，所以谓语形式应采用就近原则。
［误］ The teacher as well as his students are coming.
［正］ The teacher as well as his students is coming.
［析］ 由as well as 连接两个主语时，谓语动词与as well as 后面的名词无关，而与前面的名词相一致。
［误］ Tom does not swim nor play football.
［正］ Tom does not swim or play football.
［析］ nor主要用于连接句子的对等连词，如在否定句中连接某一部分时要用or, 但要注意句子的含意，如：This animal does not like a cow or a horse. 这个动物既不像牛也不像马。This animal does not like a cow but a horse. 这个动物不像牛而像马。
［误］ For there is no light in the classroom. The students must have gone home.
［正］ The students must have gone home, for there is no light in the classroom.
［析］ 由for引出的原因状语从句在使用时要注意不能将该从句置于句 首，而应置于主句之后，并在主句与从句之间加一逗号。更要注意的是because, as, since与for 4个表示原因的连词中because是因果关系，是最强的一个，而for是最弱的一个。有些语法书中干脆把for叫做并列连词
［误］ My brother will pass the English exam is no question.
［正］ That my brother will pass the English exam is no question.
［析］ 主语从句的引导词that是不可省略的。这一点不要和宾语从句的引导词相提并论。
［误］ This map will show you how will you get to the hotel.
［正］ This map will show you how you will get to the hotel.
［析］ 名词性从句作宾语从句使用时，最重要的一点是要用陈述语句。特别要注意的是那些使用双宾语的动词，如：tell, ask, show…
［误］ While the clock struch ten, all the lights went out.
［正］ When the clock struck ten, all the lights went out.
［析］ while是强调两个动作在同时进行中，如：While I am doing myhomework, my father is reading a newspaper. 而这里的when是"正当某某时刻"，"就在这一时间点上"，其重点强调在某一特定时刻某动作的发生。
［误］ While I was walking along the street yesterday, I met an old friend.
［正］ When I was walking along the street yesterday, I met an old friend.
［析］ 这里用when表达在一个动作的进行中，另一个动作突然发生了。正在进行的动作用一进行时态，而突然发生的动作用一般时态。
［误］ While I heard the bad news I felt sad.
［正］ When I heard the bad news, I felt sad.
［析］ while不能表达一点儿的时间，即瞬时某一时间点。
［误］ After school some students play football, or others go to the library.
［正］ After school some students play football, while others go to the library.
［析］ while在此处意为"而，然而"。
［误］ She sang when she walked along the dark street.
［正］ She sang as she walked along the dark street.
［析］ as用于句中时，其要点是强调两个动作的同时进行。这里用when虽然不能讲是语法上的错误，但则看不出来小女孩因独自走黑暗的街道因害怕而唱歌的心情。
［误］ I finished my homework until twelve o'clock last night.
［正］ I didn't finished my homework until twelve o'clock last night.
［正］ I did my homework until twelve o'clock last night.
［析］ until用在句中时其含义是某一动作一直持续到某时结束，那么句中的动词则一定要用持续性动词，如果要用瞬间，或截止性动词时一定要用否定句式。因截止性动作的否定式应看作是持续性的动作。如离开leave是瞬间动作，因一出门即为离开了，而不离开则是长时间的。
［误］ I have studied English when I was twelve.
［正］ I have studied English since I was twelve.
［析］ since引出的时间状语从句是表达了一个时间点，而这个时间点是主句动作的启始点，所以主句一般要用完成时态。
［误］ Because he didn't study hard, so he didn't pass the exam.
［正］ He didn't pass the exam because he didn't study hard.
［析］ because 与 so在英文中两者不能并用的，只能在句中用其一。
［误］ He was such excited that he could not speak.
［正］ He was so excited that he could not speak.
［析］ so与such的用法可以分为四种情况，①用于单数可数名词之前，其格式是such+不定冠词+形容词+单数可数名词，如：It is such a beautiful book that every child likes it. 也可以用so, 其格式是so+形容词+不定冠词+单数可数名词，如：It was so beautiful a book that every child likes it. ②在不可数名词前或可数名词复数前这时只能用such, 如：It is such good weather that we want to swim. 又如：They are such good students that they can pass the exam easily. ③在few, little， much, many 这4个字前只能用so而不能用such, 如：I have so much money that I can buy everything I want. ④当that前只有形容词或副词时，这时只能用so, 如：She is so beautiful that every one likes her. He ran so fast that I couldn't keep up with him.
［误］ He got up earlier this morning so as to that he could catch the first bus.
［正］ He got up earlier this morning so as to catch the first bus.
［正］ He got up so earlier that he could catch the first bus.
［析］ so…that与so that的用法有相同之处，那就是其后接从句，而so as to 其后要接不定式，即动词原形。这样的词组还有：in order to。
［误］ I want to buy same stamp that you have.
［正］ I want to buy the same stamp as you have.
［析］ the same…as (that)这是个固定用法，在same前的定冠词是不能少的。而the same…that意为"我要的就是那一个"。而the same…as为"要的是和……一样的东西"。
［误］ Before I do not give you the answer, I'll ask you some questions.
［正］ Before I give you the answer, I'll ask you some questions.
［析］ 这种错误是由于受中文的影响。在中文中可以讲"我没给你答案前"。而英文用了before就不要再用否定句了。
(三) 例题解析

A. but B. and C. or D. so

17 My aunt bought me ＿＿＿ many story books that I spent a lot of time them.

六、 介 词
(一) 知识概要
介词在英语中用法很活，也无一定规律可循。在初中范围内还应学一个记住一个，特别是那些和动词的特殊搭配。这样长期下去不断学习自然会总结出一套自己的规律来。下面是一般的规律，可帮助学习时参考，千万不要作为定律去背诵，照搬。

(二) 正误辨析
［误］ We got to the top of the mountain in daybreak.
［正］ We got to the top of the mountain at day break.
［析］ at用于具体时刻之前，如：sunrise, midday, noon, sunset, midnight, night。
［误］ Don't sleep at daytime
［正］ Don't sleep in daytime.
［析］ in 要用于较长的一段时间之内，如：in the morning / afternoon, 或 in the week / month / year. 或 in spring / supper /autumn / winter等等。
［误］ We visited the old man in Sunday afternoon.
［正］ We visited the old man on Sunday afternoon.
［析］ in the morning, in the afternoon 如果在这两个短语中加入任何修饰词其前面的介词都要改为on, 如：on a cold morning, on the morning of July 14th
［误］ He became a writter at his twenties
［正］ He became a writter in his twenties
［析］ 这句话应译为：他在20多岁时就成了作家。在某人的一段生活时间段中要用介词in来表示，而在具体岁数时用at来表示。
［误］ He went to New York to find a job in sixteen years old.
［正］ He went to New York to find a job at sixteen.
［析］ 在具体年岁前用at, 如：at the age of 12， at your age， 等等。
［误］ We went to swim in the river in a very hot day.
［正］ We went to swim in the river on a very hot day.
［析］ 具体某一天要用介词on, 又如：on New Year's Day
［误］ I'm looking forward to seeing you on Christmas.
［正］ I'm looking for ward to seeing you at Christmas.
［析］ 在节日的当天用on，而全部节日期间用at,Christmas是圣诞节期间，一般要有两周或更长的时间。
［误］ I haven't see you during the summer holidays.
［正］ I haven't seen you since the beginning of the summer holidays.
［析］ during表示在某一段时间之内，所以一般不与完成时搭配，如：I visited a lot of museums during the holiday. 而for表示一段时间，可以用于完成时，如：I haven't see you for a long time. 而through 用来表示时间时则为"整整，全部的时间"。如：It rained through the night.而since则是表达主句动作的起始时间，一般要与完成时连用。
［误］ At entering the classroom, I heard the good news.
［正］ On entering the classroom, I heard the good news.
［析］ On 加动名词表示"一……就"。本句的译文应是：我一进入教室就听见这个好消息了。又如：on hearing… 一听见， on arrival 一到达就……(on表示动作的名词)
［误］ In the beginning of the book, there are some interesting stories.
［正］ At the beginning of the book, there are some interesting stories.
［析］ at the begining与at the end都是指某事物的开始与结束部分，均不指时间范围，而in the beginning 则是指开始一段时间。in the end＝at last是指"最终，终于"之意。
［误］ Till the end of next week. I will have finished this work.
［正］ By the end of next week. I will have finished this work.
［析］ by 引起的时间状语表示了动作的截止点，其意思为"不迟于某一时刻将工作做完"，所以主句一般是完成时态。当然可以有将来时态，如：I'll be there by five o'clock.而till则表达其一动作一直持续到某一时刻，但句中的动词一定要用持续性动词，而瞬间的截止性动词应用其否定句式，如：I won't finish this work till(until) next weekend.
［误］ He came to London before last weekend.
［正］ He had come to London before last weekend.
［正］ He came to London two weeks ago.
［析］ before 一般要与完成时连用，而ago则与一般过去时连用。
［误］ I have studied English for three years gince I had come here.
［正］ I have studied English for three years since I came here.
［析］ since用来表达主句动作的开始时间，所以其引出的从句中应为过去时，而不能用完成时态
［误］ I can help you repair this bike. You will get it after two hours.
［正］ I can help you repair this bike. You will get it in two hours.
［析］ 中文经常讲两小时之后来取，两天内会修好，而这个介词在英文中要用in而不要用after。其原因有二，①after 多用于过去时，如：I arrived in New York. After three days, I found a job in the bank. ② after 加时间是表达一个不确定的时间范围，如：after three days, 即三天之后的哪一天都可以。所以在许诺若干时间内会完成某事时，一定要用介词in。
［误］ Three days after he died.
［正］ After three days he died.
［正］ Three days later he died.
［析］ after 与 later都可以用来表达一段时间之后，但它们所处的位置不同，after 在时间词前，而later在时间词后。
［误］ She hid herself after the tree.
［正］ She hid herself behind the tree.
［析］ after多用来表达某动作之后，所以有的语法书中称它为动态介词，如：I run after him. After finishing my homework, I went to see a film. 而behind则多用于静态事物之后。
［误］ There is a beautiful bird on the tree.
［正］ There is a beautiful bird in the tree.
［析］ 树上长出的果实，树叶要用on, 而其他外来的人、物体均要用in the tree.
［误］ Shanghai is on the east of China.
［正］ Shanghai is in the east of China.
［析］ 在表达地理位置时有3个介词：in, on, to。 in表示在某范围之内; on表示与某地区接壤；to则表示不相接。如：Japan is to the east of China.
［误］ I arrived at New York on July 2nd.
［正］ I arrived in New York on July 2nd.
［析］ at用来表达较小的地方，而in用来表达较大的地方。at常用于at the school gate, at home, at a bus stop, at the station, at the cinema, at a small village。
［误］ He lived in No. 3 Beijing Road.
［正］ He lived at No. 3 Beijing Road.
［析］ 在门牌号码前要用at, 并要注意它的惯用法：at the end of the street, at the foot of the mountain, at the top of the page。
［误］ There is a colour TV set at the corner of the hall.
［正］ There is a colour TV set in the corner of the hall.
