Error-prone point 1 misjudgment of noun singular and plural forms
Typical example-what do you think should be done first?
They should learn to gain and share rights in life.
A. grow up; Responsibility B. Adults; accountability
C. adults; The responsibility of adults; accountability
Error analysis: some students think that grown is the head word of compound nouns, and its plural form should be followed by-s; On the other hand, it is considered that responsibility is an uncountable noun and has no plural form, so B. Actually, grown-up has no central noun, and its plural form should be followed by-s; At the same time, according to the context, responsibility refers to obligation, and the word "obligation, duty" can be used as both countable and uncountable nouns, so the correct answer is C.
The plural form of compound nouns usually adds -s after the central noun, such as: spectator → spectator, son-in-law → son-in-law; But when a compound noun has no central noun, its plural form is to add -s after the last word, such as: grown-up → adult; Middleman → middleman.
Error-prone point 2 Misuses the case of nouns.
Typical example-look! This is ...
Very beautiful. When did she take it?
A. my mother's photo B. My mother in the photo
C. photos of my mother. A picture of my mother.
Error analysis: candidates may be influenced by Chinese thinking and choose A or B by mistake; It may also be influenced by the dual possessive case of English. D. According to the context, the correct answer is C.
My mother's photo, which means "the photo belongs to my mother", implies that "the photo is not necessarily my mother"; A photo of my mother, which means "one of my mother's photos", also implies that "the photo is not necessarily my mother"; A photo of my mother, which means "a photo of my mother"; My mother in the picture means "my mother in the photo", implying "not my biological mother".
Error-prone point 3 Misuse of nouns as attributes
Typical example-Jack, where does your sister work?
She works in a company.
A. clothing store Cloth shop. Shopping with clothes. clothing store
Cause analysis: Some candidates will choose B by mistake because of improper use of nouns as attributes. In fact, clothes "clothing" only has plural form, while the singular form "cloth shop" means cloth or cloth shop with shop. Therefore, according to the context, the correct answer is D.
When nouns are used as attributes, they usually use their singular forms. But parents, clothes, sports and other nouns must be used in the plural when they are used as attributes. In addition, when men and women are attributes, if the head word is singular, use its singular form; If the head word is plural, use its plural form.
Error-prone point 4 misjudges the application of uncountable nouns
I found it very different to read the novel you lent me last week.
That's right. It is necessary to be proficient in history.
A. yes; Do not fill in b.a; Don't fill in C. the D.A. a
Error analysis: candidates may think that the first empty refers to the novel lent by the other party last week, so they should fill in the article; After the second space is an abstract noun, which is uncountable and not filled in the article, so the wrong choice is A. However, the indefinite article here must be used before knowledge, and good knowledge means "know well", which is a fixed collocation, so the correct answer is C.
In English, some abstract nouns, such as knowledge, history, failure, success, help, pleasure, surprise, honor, etc. Don't use indefinite articles in front, such as with pleasure, in surprise, etc. However, when expressing specific concepts, the indefinite article or its plural form must be added in front.
Error-prone point 5 misjudges the application of proper nouns
Typical example-do you know Li Ming?
Li Ming? Which one? I know Li Ming in our class very well. He is the Lei Feng of our time.
A. do not fill in; Do not fill in b.a; Alternating current a； theD。 Yes; this
Error analysis: Some candidates may think that the nouns after the two spaces are all names, and there is no article in front, so they choose A, but according to the context, the respondent knows at least two Li Ming, especially Li Mingshi in his class, and must use the definite article in front; The last empty Lei Feng was decorated by Our Times, which shows that it is the characteristic of our times and must use definite articles, so the correct answer is D.
There is a definite article before a person's name, which refers to the main characteristics of a specific person or person. There is generally no definite article before a place name, but it must be used when it refers to the main characteristics of a certain place or place in a certain period. Such as: China → China today; America → America in the last century; New york, China, etc. Plural nouns expressing surnames are preceded by definite articles, indicating couples or whole families, such as the Greens.
Error-prone point 6 misjudgment of definite articles and indefinite articles
Typical example-when was the last time you saw her?
I don't remember exactly, but I'm sure it was Friday when I went to the store to buy football.
A.a； AB。 Do not fill in; Alternating current Yes; Don't fill in D. Don't fill in; Don't fill in
Error analysis: some candidates may think that there is no article in front of these two empty nouns, so choosing D actually means that indefinite articles must be used in front of a specific week; When expressing a football, the indefinite article must also be used in front, so the correct answer is A.
Generally, there is no article in front of the noun indicating the day of the week, but when it refers to a certain day of the week, an indefinite article should be added in front. In ball games, there is no article before the noun indicating ball games; In music activities, the definite article must be used before the noun indicating the name of an instrument. However, when they refer not to activities but to specific things, appropriate articles must be used.
Seven articles and zero articles with error-prone points were misjudged in application.
Typical example-what do you think is the difference between men and women?
I don't think it makes any difference.
A. yes; theB。 a； Alternating current Do not fill in; Don't fill in d.a.; this
Error analysis: Some candidates may think that when expressing categories, nouns must be preceded by indefinite articles or definite articles, so they choose A or B. In fact, when expressing categories in singular, man, woman and mankind all use zero articles. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
In addition to the use of zero articles in the above situations, zero articles must also be used in the following situations: before the nouns indicating family members (including nannies, cooks, tutors), but the first letters of such nouns are often capitalized; Before a noun, it is followed by phrases such as "of a kind" and "of a type". In the inverted adverbial clause guided by as/though, it is placed before the noun at the beginning of the sentence; The phrase means of transport is a Chinese word.
Error-prone point 8 is limited by thinking mode.
A typical example-remember two different English interrogative words: where and when.
I see, but can you tell us how to use them, sir?
A. Bibi isC。 Arede. exist
Error analysis: some candidates take it for granted that when asking questions with where and when, the predicate verb is singular, so they choose B. In fact, this refers to two special interrogative words, where and when, so the correct answer is C.
Candidates should get out of the mindset and not be confused by some illusions, but should start from the actual context and carefully consider the topic.
Error-prone point 9 Misuse of typical numbers
It is not uncommon for a five-year-old to go to college for further study.
A. after 90; theB。 90 years; /c . 90s； Their. 90 years; their
Error analysis: candidates may choose B or C. "Century" and "Year" are both concrete concepts, so the first blank should use the definite article the to express the specific meaning, such as: in1980s/1980s (1980s), in the 1990s/90s (1990s). Because the plural form of "in one's+integer ten" is a fixed structure, which means "when someone is a teenager", D is the correct answer to this question.
Candidates should pay attention to the plural form of the whole ten cardinal words when expressing "tens of years old".
The error-prone point 10 was misjudged when it was used as a formal subject and a formal object.
I would appreciate it if you could come and help me with my work.
A. that B. Itc. thisD。 one
Cause analysis: many candidates think that this or that can refer to what appears above or below, so they mistakenly choose A or C. In fact, they can only use it to refer to the content of the whole sentence and as a formal object, so the correct answer is B.
In English, there are some verbs, such as: accept, hate, like, dislike, make, let go, etc. , cannot be followed by a clause directly, but should be used as a formal object.
The usage differences of error-prone points 1 1 it, one, that, thought, ones, etc.
Typical example-do you want to buy a car here?
Yes, but I want to buy something made in Shanghai.
A.oneB。 that itD。 this
Cause analysis: Many candidates think that it or that should be used to refer to the cars mentioned by the two speakers, so they choose B or C. According to the context, there are many cars made in Shanghai, and the respondents only want to buy one of them, so the correct answer is A.
When referring to the noun mentioned above, it refers to the thing mentioned above, that is, the same thing; Refers to an abstract thing mentioned above or another thing of the same kind, which can replace countable nouns or uncountable nouns to express a specific meaning; And one refers to one of the above things, which can only replace countable nouns and express general reference.
The usage differences of error-prone points 12 other(s), other(s), another, the rest, etc.
I have done a lot of work. Can you finish it in two days?
A. the rest B. Another C. Another D. The rest
Error analysis: candidates in this question are prone to choose item D by mistake. In fact, this question is to examine the rest of the usage. Both options B and C modify countable nouns, and option D is equivalent to the structure of "the other+ plural countable nouns". None of these three options is suitable for this problem. When the rest refer to nouns, they can refer to both countable nouns and uncountable nouns. In this question, the rest refers to uncountable nouns, which are equivalent to the rest of the work, so option A is the correct answer to this question.
When the rest is the subject, the use of singular and plural predicate verbs depends on what the rest refers to.
Error-prone points: 13 both, both, Inner, all, none, etc.
His father bought many books for his family, but these books are easy for him to read.
A.noneB。 No oneC. Every one of them. someone
Error analysis: many candidates will infer the negative meaning of the back table according to the word but, but considering that there is no preposition of after the space, they choose B. According to the context, the book's The is omitted after the space, so the correct answer is A.
Usage of no one and none:
(1) No one is equal to no one, only people.
(2)none is often used with the phrase of, which can refer to both people and things.
(3)none is usually used for the negative answer of "how much/how much ……", but no one is often used for the negative answer of "who …".
Error-prone point 14 else usage misunderstanding
I don't think we have seen a typical example before. You have to retake me.
A. some other B. Others. Other personnel D. another
Cause analysis: some candidates don't know the usage of else, and choose items A, C and D by mistake. In fact, this question is an investigation of the use of else. Else can be used as both an adjective and an adverb, meaning "other/land", which is usually placed after interrogative pronouns, interrogative adverbs or indefinite pronouns. Others means "others", which is just right here. Item b is the correct answer.
Candidates should also know that the possessive form of who else is who else or who else, such as:
Whose else can this be? Whose can it be?
Error-prone point 15: the sorting problem of multiple adjectives as attributes
This girl is Linda's cousin.
A beautiful little Spanish dog. Little Spanish beauty
C. Spain is beautiful and small. Little beautiful Spain
Error analysis: candidates are prone to choose item D by mistake. The reason is that the order of such questions is not clear. This question examines the ordering of multiple adjectives as attributes. Pretty is a subjective descriptive adjective, little is an adjective indicating size, and Spanish is an adjective indicating nationality. According to the knowledge of English grammar, option A is the correct answer to this question.
In NMET English, the ranking of multiple adjectives as noun attributes is a common problem. The sorting rules of adjectives are as follows:
Adjectives that describe the nature and characteristics subjectively (such as beautiful)-adjectives that describe the size (such as small)-adjectives that describe the shape (such as round)-adjectives that describe the age (such as young)-adjectives that describe the color (such as green)-adjectives that describe the nationality, region and place of origin (such as Spanish)-adjectives that describe the manufacturing materials (.
When multiple adjectives are used as attributes, there is usually no need to add and between adjectives. However, when these adjectives are adjectives representing the same aspect (such as color, etc.). ), and it is usually added between these adjectives, for example, a black and white cat.
Error-prone point 16 The comparison level of adjectives and adverbs is error-prone.
A typical example of two sisters, Betty is one, she is also a quiet person.
minimus
Cause analysis: according to two of the questions, the horizontal line should be a comparative structure, so options b and d should be excluded first. According to the meaning of the question, the horizontal line should be a concrete concept, so option C is the correct answer to this question.
In English, the comparison of the two uses the comparative structure. When there is one of the two ... in the sentence, the range is indicated, and the comparative degree is usually placed before the, indicating specific concepts, such as:
He is taller than you. He is taller than you.
He is the taller of the two. He is the taller of the two.
Error-prone point 17 using peer-to-peer is more prone to errors.
A typical example is that the roles of husband and wife are not as clear as before, especially when both work to earn money to support their families.
More clearly
Error analysis: candidates easily distinguish parts of speech and choose item A by mistake. According to the grammatical knowledge, if ... is a comparative structure at the same level, the original level of adjectives or adverbs should be used between as and as, so options b and d should be excluded first; Because verbs are defined here, they should be modified with adverbs, so option C is the correct answer to this question.
Peer comparison is a common test point in NMET English. Its structure is "so/as+adj/adv. (original level) +as ...", in which the ... as ... structure can only be used for negative structure; As ... as ... structure can be used for both positive structure and negative structure, for example:
She is not as good as her sister.
Error-prone point 18 Some fixed usages and misuse of adjectives and adverbs
Typical example-Have you ever been to New Zealand?
Yes, I do.
10. c) No.
Error analysis: according to the sentence meaning analysis, a word indicating the turning relationship should be filled in the horizontal line, and options A and D should be excluded first; When yet indicates a turning point, a clause should be added after it, so choose item B.
When through is used as a conjunction, it means "although", leading adverbial clauses, which can usually be interchanged with the conjunction which, such as:
Although they are poor, they are universal. Although they are poor, they are generous.
In addition, though can also be used as an adverb, meaning "however" or "but" and indicating a turning point. When it is at the end of a sentence, it is usually preceded by a comma; When it is in a sentence, it is usually preceded and followed by commas, just like the adverb how. Note that it is not used like this.
Error-prone point 19 is the special usage of several modal verbs.
Jack, don't play with the dog, because it can be dangerous sometimes.
A.shallB。 It should be C. Candy. must
Cause analysis: Many candidates think that playing with dogs will be dangerous or definitely dangerous, so they mistakenly choose A or D. In fact, shall is used in the second and third person to mean "permission, command, warning, threat" and so on. Should means "should"; Must means "must, must" and so on; Besides "yes, yes", it can also mean "(sometimes) yes, maybe" and so on. According to the comparison of the meaning of context and modal verbs, the correct answer is C.
The modal verb can appears frequently in NMET English, which is another common test site. For example:
Can can express ability, objective possibility, asking for instructions and permission, and attitude of surprise, doubt and disbelief. Mainly used in affirmative sentences, negative sentences and interrogative sentences. When used to predict affirmative sentences, it refers to the theoretical possibility, and does not involve whether it really happens.
Error-prone point 20 Misuse the simple past tense and present perfect tense of verbs
Typical example-have you read this story?
That's right. I learned it at school.
A. yes; readB。 Did it; readC。 Yes; Read it. Did it; Read
Error analysis: Some candidates think that when two people speak, they should use the same tense, so they choose B or C by mistake. In fact, the questioner refers to the result, while the respondent emphasizes the location, but the location implies that the action took place in the past, so the correct answer is A.
The use of verb tense should be determined not only from the adverbial of time, but also from the temporal relationship implied by the adverbial of place. For example:
(1) Words or phrases indicating the past time: yesterday, last night, last week, this morning, 2006, etc.
(2) Indicates the place where the behavior took place: home/school, factory, on the way, etc.
