A
a
［误］ I think it is an useful English dictionary.
［正］ I think it is a useful English dictionary.
［析］ 在不定冠词 a 与 an 的用法中要注意的一点是：an 用在以元音开头的词之前；而 a 则用在以辅音开头的词之前。要特别注意的是以 u 字母打头的单词，如 useful,university 等，其第一个音标是［j］，所以要特别予以注意。
［误］ I need a hour to finish this letter.
［正］ I need an hour to finish this letter.
［析］ 要注意 hour 和 honest 的第一个字母不发音。
［误］ My teacher is a unknown man, but he is a very good man.
［正］ My teacher is an unknown man, but he is a very good man.
［析］ 要注意以 u 打头的单词，它的发音为［］时，单数名词前要用 an，如 uncle 等。
［误］ There is a“f”in the word“football”.
［正］ There is an“f”in the word“football”.
［析］ 英文字母单独使用时，如其第一个发音是元音时，其前面的不定冠词应该用 an 而不是 a.
［误］ I have a little brother. He is a 8 year old boy.
［正］ I have a little brother. He is an 8 year old boy.
［析］ 要注意这些字母的第一个发音为元音，如 eight, eleven 等。
able
［误］ This bike is able to be repaired.
［正］ This bike can be repaired.
［析］ be able to 主 要表达某事或某人具有某种能力去作某事，应译为“有本领”、“有能力”、“可以”作某事， 如：I'm able to swim across this river. 而 can 可以用来表示具有接受能力或吸收能力。 如：This radio can be repaired here.
about
［误］ This class is about to begin just now.
［正］ This class is about to begin.
［析］ 要注意 be about to 是“将要”的意思，含有将来时之意，不要与表示过去时的时间状语连用。另外，be about to 一般用作书面语，对应的口语是 be going to.
about, on
about 与 on 都可以作"关于"讲，但却有所不同，例如：This book is about physics. 应译为“这是一本关于物理学的科普读物。”而：This book is on physics. 则应译为“这是一本物理学方面的专著。”
above
［误］ The temperature is five degrees over zero.
［正］ The temperature is five degrees above zero.
［析］ 表 达“在……上方”时，above 与 over 是可以互换的，如：The sky is above(or over)our heads. 但是要表 达在垂直方向上的上方时则应用 above 不可用 over，如：The sun has risen above the horizon.
［误］ There is often thick cloud above the South of China in summer.
［正］ There is often thick cloud over the South of China in summer.
［析］ 当表达覆盖之意时，只可用 over 而不能用 above.
［误］ There is a bridge above the river.
［正］ There is a bridge over the river.
［析］ 用来表达“从……上方越过”时不能用 above 只能用 over，如：The plane flew over the city. 但要注意 There is waterfall above the bridge. 则应译为“在桥的上游有一个瀑布。”
across
［误］ He ran across the wood.
［正］ He ran through the wood.
［析］ across 是指某一动作在一平面内进行，而 through 则是指该动作在一三维立体空间的运动过程。如：The man came in through the window. He walked across the square.
across
across 的主要用法有两个。其一，意为“对面”，如：There is a school just across the street. 其二，意为“横过”，如：He walked across the street.
afraid
［误］ I dont't afraid of him.
［正］ I am not afraid of him.
［析］ 要注意“害怕”afraid 一词在英语中不是动词，而是形容词，要与 be 动词连用。
after
［误］ Two weeks after he left.
［正］ Two weeks later he left.
［正］ He left after two weeks.
［析］ 要表达“在多少时间之后”，英语中有两种表达法，即：用 later 时，要时间在前，如 three hours later; 而用 after 时要时间在后，如 after three hours。
［误］ My father will be back after a few hours.
［正］ My father will be back in a few hours.
［析］ 受 中文的影响，这个介词常常被误用。当你要表达在一段时间内某个动作可以完成时，一定要用 in，而不能用 after，因为 after 是指在某一时间 之后。例如：This work will be done in two days. 即表明在两天内这一工作一定会做完。而如用了 after，即表 示在两天之后，完成的时间是不确定的。
after, behind
after 多 用于表示顺序的前后，如：She walked in the line after Tom. 或用来表示“追赶”，表示一种动态， 如：He ran after Mary. 而 behind 多用于强调先进与落后， 如：She is much behind the other girls in sewing. 或者用于表达“迟于”， 如：The train was ten minutes behind the time table. 或者与表示静态的动词连用， 如：She hid herself behind the flowers.
afternoon
［误］ He worked very hard in a hot afternoon.
［正］ He worked very hard on a hot afternoon.
［析］ 习 惯用的词组 in the afternoon, 如果加入任何修饰词后其前面的介词 in 都要改为 on，不论其修饰词在前还是在后， 如：He swam in this river on the afternoon of June lst. 又 如：Are you free on Sunday afternoon?
against
［误］ He against me.
［正］ He is against me.
［析］ 要注意 against 意为“反对”，但它在英文中却不是动词，而是介词，如要讲反对某事或某人时则要加动词 be, 如：He is against somebody/something.
against for
against 意为“反对”、“不赞成”；而 for 则意为“同意”，为其反意词。如：Are you for or against the plan?
age
［误］ He is twenty years old of age.
［正］ He is twenty.
［正］ He is twenty years old.
［正］ He is at the age of twenty.
ago
［误］ Tom's father has been dead five years ago.
［正］ Tom's father died five years ago.
［析］ ago 意为由说话时算起，若干时间以前。它只能和一般动词过去时连用，而不要与完成时连用。
［误］ Yesterday I met a friend. We didn't see each other for a long time since we left the college twenty years ago.
［正］ Yesterday I met a friend. We hadn't seen each other for a long time since we left the college twenty years ago.
［析］ 要注意的是在本句是 ago 是用在由 since 引起的从句之中，只是从句应用过去时，但不影响主句的时态。
agree
［误］ Does the teacher agree to us?
［正］ Does the teacher agree with us?
［误］ Does he agree with our plan?
［正］ Does he agree with us?

all
［误］ The old man has two sons. All of them are workers.
［正］ The old man has two sons. Both of them are workers.
［析］ all 是指三者或以上的全部，而 both 则是指“两者都”。
［误］ The all children are playing football now.
［正］ All the children are playing football now.
［析］ all 作修饰词时其位置要在所有的修饰词之前，不论这些修饰词是定冠词、指示代词、形容词或名词，或代词的所有格。
［误］ You all are right.
［正］ You are all right.
［析］ all 作同位语时其位置要置于be动词之后，实意动词之前，如：The teachers all work hard. 或用于第一助动词之后，如：The boys have all been waiting for their mothers.
almost
［误］ Nearly nobody thinks he is right.
［正］ Almost nobody thinks he is right.
［析］ nearly 与 almost 是近意词，其含意差别不大，但是与否定词连用时要用 almost, 例如：She brought almost no money with her. 此句中的 almost 不能用 nearly 替换。
alone
［误］ The old man lived lone but he didn't feel lonely.
［正］ The old man lived alone, but he didn't feel lonely.
［析］ alone, lone, lonely 三个词全具有“孤单、孤独”之意。但其用法不同：lone 可以作定语，而 alone 则只能作表语，lonely 则多指感情上与感觉上的孤独。
already
［误］ We are already for the work.
［正］ We are all ready for the work.
［析］ already 是副词，其意为“已经”，如：He already knew about it. 而 all ready 为形容词意为“准备好”。

also
［误］ I didn't find the dictionary also.
［正］ I didn't find the dictionary either.
［析］ 作为“也”讲，在否定句中要用 either 而不能用 also.
also, too
also 与 too 都可用在肯定句中表示“也”，但 also 通常用于 be 动词或情态动词之后，如：I can also do it myself. 而 too 一般放于句尾。I'll attend his class, too.
always
［误］ Always he asked himself why he had come here.
［正］ He always asked himself why he had come here.
［析］ always 一般不能用于句首，它在一般句中的位置是于动词之前第一助动词之后，如：I've always thought he is honest. 又如：He is always late.
among
［误］ If the three apples are divided among the two boys how much will each receive?
［正］ If the three apples are divided among the three boys how much will each receive?
［析］ among 常用于三个事物或人物之间，而 between 则多用于两者之间。
an
［误］ This is an useful dictionary.
［正］ This is a useful dictionary.
［析］ 详见 a 条。
and
［误］ He did not speak loudly and clearly.
［正］ He did not speak loudly nor clearly.
［误］ Our school is not in New York and Chicago, but in Boston.

angry
［误］ My mother was angry to me.
［正］ My mother was angry with me.
［误］ He was angry with what I said.
［正］ He was angry at what I said.
［析］ 要注意 be angry 后面如果接人，表示“对某人生气不满”时应用 be angry with somebody. 但要接事物时要用 be angry at something.
another
［误］ I have two sisters, on
［正］ I have two sisters, on
［析］ 要注意英语中 another, other, the other, the others, others 的不同用法，现分别说明如下：another 作形容词其意为：泛指的另一个或再一个，别的，类似的。一般在句中作定语，如: This is not good enough, please show me another on
answer
［误］ Someone is knocking at the door. Please reply the door bell.
［正］ Someone is knocking at the door, Please answer the door bell.
［析］ answer 与 reply 是近意词，作为及物动词用时有时二者是可以互换的，如：The student answered/replied that he wanted to watch TV. 但在某些特定场合则不易互换。作为应答之意时则多用answer，如：You should answer to your name. Please answer my letter as soon as possible. Answer my question in English.
any
［误］ Do you have some questions?
［正］ Do you have any questions?
［析］ some一般要用于肯定句，而any则用于否定句或疑问句。
［误］ China is larger than any other countries in Asia.
［正］ China is larger than any other country in Asia.
［析］ 要注意 any other 其后要跟单数名词，但 any of the other 其后要接复数名词。
Chinais larger than any of the other countries in Asia.
［误］ Here are some books; you can choose anyone of these.
［正］ Here are some books; you can choose any on
［析］ anyone 只能指人，而 any on
around
［误］ The nine planets go around of the sun.
［正］ The nine planets go around the sun.
［析］ around后面不要再加介词，如：The sun shines all around us.
around, round
作介词用的 around 与 round 通常可以互换，只不过美语常用 around，而英语常用 round，例如：You can see the post office round/around that corner. (绕过那个弯你就可以看到邮局。但是一定要区别它们的不同之处：round 可以用作形容词、副词、介词、动词、名词；而 around 只能用作副词或介词。例如：The post office is just round (around) the house (用作介词). He has round face (用作形容词). The river rounded the stones. (用作动词)
arrive
［误］ I arrived Beijing the day before yesterday.
［正］ I arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday.
［正］ I reached Beijing the day before yesterday.
［误］ He arrived in the school at 11∶00.
［正］ He arrived at the school at 11∶00.
［析］ arrive 为不及物动词，当到达的是较大的地理区域时用介词 in，而到达较小的地方时则用 at, 如：arrive in New York, arrive at the village.
arrive, reach, get
arrive 如上所述是不及物动词，而 reach 则是及物动词。如：How did you reach the school this morning? 而 get 可用作不及物动词，作“到达”讲时其后面多与 to 连用。如：When did you get to New York?
as
［误］ This man works in the bank for a manager.
［正］ This man works in the bank as a manager.
［析］ as 与 for 有时是可以通用的。如：This room is used as (for) a classroom. 但是用来指官衔、职位时只能用 as.
［误］ My brother is so taller as Tom.
［正］ My brother is as tall as Tom.
［析］ as … as 之间只能用形容词与副词的原级，而不能用比较级。在否定句中可以用 so … as，也可以用 as … as，但在肯定句中只能用 as … as，如：He is not so tall as Tom.
［误］ I'll give him the note as soon as he will come.
［正］ I'll give him the note as soon as he comes.
［析］ as soon as 所引导的状语从句中应使用一般时态表示将来。
ask
［误］ The student asked a question to the teacher.
［正］ The student asked the teacher a question.
［析］ ask应接双宾语，即ask somebody something.
［误］ They asked some books.
［正］ They asked for some books.
［析］ 向某人要求某物时应用 ask somebody for something 或 ask for something from somebody, 如：He asked his mother for some money. 或He asked for some money from his mother.
asleep
［误］ He is deeply asleep.
［正］ He is fast asleep.
［析］ 要讲“熟睡”，就要用 fast 来修饰 asleep。另外，在英语中一般不讲 somebody is sleeping 而要用 asleep。关于睡觉这一词的惯用法还有：go to sleep (如：The old man usually goes to sleep at ten.)， fall asleep(如：I fell asleep at English class yes terday.)
at
［误］ It will really do you no harm quite.
［正］ It will really do you no harm at all.
［析］ at all 和 quite 的汉语意思均为“全然”、“确定的”，但 at all 适用于否定句，例如：
--I'm sorry. I'm late.
--No trouble at all.
又如：I don't think it is right at all. 而 quite 则适用于肯定句，例如：He is quite a good teacher.
［误］ The children play football for lunch.
［正］ The children play football at lunch.
［析］ 英语中的 at lunch 为“在吃午饭时”。这种惯用法还有 at work(在工作)，at table(在吃饭)，at desk(在学习)。而 for lunch 则是为午饭而准备的食物，又如：We had some milk for breakfast.
［误］ There is a post office in the corner of the street.
［正］ There is a post office at the corner of the street.
［析］ at the corner 是指墙外面的角，而 in the corner 是指建筑物内部的角落。例如：There is a computer in the corner of the room. There is a street lamp at the corner of the street.
at, in, on
在表示时间时用来表示具体钟点用 at，如：He will be back at six. 表示一天的上、下午时要用 in,如：I usually get up at six in the morning. 但要注意的是，in the morning 和 in the afternoon 这两个词组中如果加入了任何修饰词，其介词要换为 on， 如：on the cold morning, on the hot afternoon. 又如：See you on Monday morning. 如讲到具体的某一天，要用 on, 如：on Sunday, 如：I usually want to visit my mother on Sundays. 在谈到周、月、季、年时要用 in，如：All the children will be happy in Easter week. He was born in July. 但要注意在泛指圣诞节、复活节、感恩节时都用 at, 如：Where are you going at Easter.
B
back
［误］ I'm sorry. I have to back home.
正］ I'm sorry. I have to go back home.
［正］ I'm sorry. I have to go home.
［析］ back 用作“回到(某处)”之意，不是动词。
be
［误］ Where do you from?
［正］ Where are you from?
［析］ “你从何处来”应为 Where are you from? 或 Where do you come from? 但要注意这两句话均是问对方从哪个国家来的。要是口语中问“你是从什么地方来?”应讲 Where did you come from? 回答用 I came from the library.
beat
［误］ We have won your class.
［正］ We have beaten your class.
［正］ We have won the game.
［析］ win 是胜过之意，它是及物动词，但其后的宾语只能接比赛、战争、奖品、奖金的名称，如：Which team won the football match? 而 beat 指打败对手、敌人……如：My brother beat me at poker.(要注意的是，beat 的过去式与原形相同，而过去分词为 beaten)。
［误］ The ball beat me badly.
［正］ The ball hit me badly.
［误］ He used to hit the little boy black and blue.
［正］ He used to beat the little boy black and blue.
［析］ beat 指打击多次，而hit则为击中对方的一次性打击。
beautiful
［误］ He is a beautiful boy.
［正］ He is a handsome boy.
［析］ 我们可以讲 She is a beautiful girl. This is a beautiful park. 但要讲男人的“英俊”时要用 handsome.
because
［误］ The reason why I was late is because I was ill.
［正］ The reason why I was late is that I was ill.
［误］ Because it was Sunday, so the park was crowded.
［正］ Because it was Sunday the park was crowded.
［析］ 这种错误是因为中文的习惯与英语的表述法不同，中文常讲我来晚了的原因是因为我病了，而英文中的第二个因为要用 that 代替。又因中文常讲因为……所以……，而英文中用了因为就不能再用所以了，同样用了“所以”也就不要再用“因为”一词。例如：Because we study hard, we passed the exam easily. 或者：We study hard so we passed the exam easily.
because, because of
because 后要接从句，例如：We like physics because we can learn a lot of new ideas. 而because of 后要接名词作介词宾语，如：He is not at school because of the illness.
before
［误］ We have two hours to kill before we will go home.
［正］ We have two hours to kill before we go home.
［析］ kill time 意为“消磨时光”。
英语状语从句中要用一般现在时表示将来的动作。如：If it rains we will not go to the park.
［误］ I did this work two days before.
［正］ I did this work two days ago.
［析］ 用 ago 组成的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词要用过去时，而 before 引起的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词多用完成时，如：I has done this work a few days before.
before long, long before
before long 是“不久”之意，例如：I shall go to America before long. 而 long before 则是“很久很久”之意，如：We knew this teacher long before we saw him. (我们在看到这位老师之前很久就知道他了。)
begin
［误］ The meeting will begin from Monday.
［正］ The meeting will begin on Monday.
［误］ The film has begun for ten minutes.
［正］ The film has been on for ten minutes.
［析］ begin 是瞬间动词，所以它的完成时态不能接表示一段时间的状语，如：The film has begun. 这句话是对的，即“电影已经开始”。但要讲已经开始10分钟了则要用 has been on 即“上演了10分钟”。
begin, start
begin 与 start 两词后面加不定式或动名词都可以，且意思并无区别，但在表达习惯时接动名词的用法较多，如：How old wern you when you first started learning English? 但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式，如：I was beginning to get hungry. 但如果句子的主语是物而不是人，则多用不定式，如：The ice began to melt. It started to get dark before we got to school. 当动词是表达某种心理状态时，要用不定式，如：The student began to understand his mistakes.
［误］ They study hard in the class from the beginning to the end.
［正］ They study hard in the class from beginning to end.
［析］ from beginning to end 是习惯用法，即自始至终，不要加冠词，但如单独使用则要加冠词，例如：At the beginning,the teacher gave us an exam.
behind
［误］ He missed the class because he was behind the time.
［正］ He missed the class because he was behind time.
［析］ behind time 一短语意为“晚了”，而 behind the times 意为“落后于时代”。behind 是介词同时又是副词，如 Come out from behind the door(介词). He's a long way behind(副词). He fell behind with his classmates(副词).
below
［误］ What's that below the chair.
［正］ What's that under the chair.
［析］ under 意为“正下方”，而 below 意为}“比……低”，或指“在下游”。如：There is a fall below the river. (河的下游有一个瀑布。)其反义词为 over，如：There is a big plane flying over the city. 但在“下面的例子”一表达语中则要用 the example below, 而不要用 under.
beside
［误］ The students stood besides the teacher.
［正］ The students stood beside the teacher.
［误］ I study English beside Chinese.
［正］ I study English besides Chinese.
［析］ beside 意为“在……旁边”，而 besides 是“除……以外(还如何)”。
beside, by, near
beside 意为“在……旁”，如：There is a tall tree beside the river. by 多指“倚、靠”、“沿着”之意，如：She is standing by the window. near 多用来表示两地间距离不远，如：There is a post office near our school.
better
［误］ You had better to do it at home.
［正］ You had better do it at home.
［误］ You hadn't better wake me up at six.
［正］ You had better not wake me up at six.
［析］ had better 在肯定句中为“应该作某事”，其后加不带 to 的不定式，而在否定句中应用 had better + not + 动词原形。在简答语中 had 常省略为 'd，如：You'd better not. 又如：
Let's go first. No, we'd better not.
between
［误］ Among the two trees there is a space of the feet.
［正］ Between the two trees there is a space of the feet.
［析］ 两者之间多用 between，三者或三者以上之间则用 among.
［误］ You must choose between this club or that club.
［正］ You must choose between this club and that club.
［析］ 在两个之间作出选择要用 between … and …，而不能用 between … or ….
big
［误］ There was a big rain last night.
［正］ There was a heavy rain last night.
［析］ 大雨在英语中只能用 a heavy rain 而不要用 a big rain.
bit
［误］ He is a bit fool.
［正］ He is a bit of a fool.
［析］ a bit 可以作程度副词，与 a little 相同，但它用于名词前应用 a bit of, 而用于形容词前则应用 a bit，如：I'm a bit tired, 而其简答的否定句应为 Not a bit, (一点儿也不。)又如：
--Do you mind if I open the door?
--Not a bit.
black
［误］ The children became black after swimming in the sea.
［正］ The children became sunburned after swimming in the sea.
［析］ 因太阳照晒而皮肤变黑，不应用 black 而应用 sunburned, sun colour 或 dark.
［误］ The girl has black eyes and black hair.
［正］ The girl has dark eyes and black hair.
［析］ 英语中 black eyes 的意思是被打得发青的眼睛。
［误］ The Europeans like red tea.
［正］ The Europeans like black tea.
［析］ 红茶在英文中应为 black tea. 这种惯用法还有：black and blue(鼻青脸肿，青一块紫一块)；blackandwhite(黑白电视片)。go black 意为“在失去知觉时眼前一片黑暗”；look black 意为“情况不妙，前景暗淡”。如：After the fight he was black and blue. On TV, I like colour for something and blackandwhite for others.
body
［误］ Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier is good for your body.
［正］ Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier is good for your health.
［析］ 中文常讲对你身体有利，而英文中则讲对你健康有利。
borrow
［误］ May I lend some books from the library?
［正］ May I borrow some books from the library?
［误］ How long can I borrow it?
［正］ How long can I keep it?
［析］ 英语中有三个词都可译为“借”，但意义各不相同如：“借入”是 borrow，其常用句型结构是 borrow something from somebody，这是个瞬间性动词，不可与表示延续的时间状语连用。例如：The students want to borrow some books from the library. “借出”用 lend，即借给别人东西。其常用句型是 lend somebody something, 或lend something to somebody. 例如：Could you lend us your dictionary? 或 Could you lend your dictionary to us? 它也是瞬间性动词，也不能与延续的时间状语连用。keep 则是延续性动词，可以和表示长时间段的时间状语连用，也可与 how long 等疑问词连用，如：You can keep it for three days.
born (bear 的过去分词)
［误］ I born in Shanghai.
［正］ I was born in Shanghai.
［误］ He was born from Greek parents.
［正］ He was born of Greek parents.

both
［误］ They both are students.

［误］ I know his both parents.
［正］ I know both his parents.
［误］ The both brothers were students.
［正］ Both the brothers were students.
［正］ Both brothers were students.
［析］ 当 both 与形容词性物主代词 my, his, her 等以及定冠词the连用时，都应将这些词置于 both 之后。另外，在与定冠词连用时 the 可以省略。
［误］ Both of my parents are not at home.
［正］ Neither of my parents are at home.
［误］ Both of your answers are not right.
［正］ Neither of your answers is right.
［正］ Both your answers are wrong.
［析］ both 不能用于否定句中作主语。表示“两者都不”时要用 neither;但作宾语时 both 与 either 则都对，但要注意句意有所不同。例如：I cannot give both of the books to you. (我不能将两本书全给你。)而 I cannot give either of the books to you. (两本书中哪本书也不能给你。)
bring
［误］ Please bring this dictionary to Mr Brown.
［正］ Please take this dictionary to Mr Brown.
［误］ Next time, please take your little sister here.
［正］ Next time, please bring your little sister here.
［析］ 英语中 bring 是'带来"，而 take 是“带走”。还有一个词 fetch, 表示“到某处去把某物取、接回来”。如：Please fetch the doctor at on

［正］ She couldn't help crying when she saw her mother.
［析］ couldn't help 其后应接动名词，表示情不自禁的动作，但 couldn't help but 后面要加动词原形即省 to 的不定式，所以前一句应译为“他才真正认识到他错了。”
buy
［误］ I have bought this dictionary for three years.
［正］ I have had this dictionary for three years.
［析］ buy 是截止性(即瞬间)动词，它可以有完成时，如：I have bought this dictionary. 但是不能与表示较长的时间状语连用。如要讲我这本字典已买了3年了则要用 have had 这一结构即我拥有这本字典已3年了。
by
［误］ The boy shot the cat by a gun.
［正］ The boy shot the cat with a gun.
［误］ He came to school by a taxi this morning.
［正］ He came to school by taxi this morning.
［析］ 作为某种运输手段来讲，by 与名词间不能有冠词，如：by car, by bike, by air 等。如有了冠词或其他修饰词，则应用别的相应的介词，如：“我们今天早上是乘他的车来的。”一句应译为：We came here in his car this morning. 与 by 结合而成的词组很多，常用的有：by the way 顺便说说；by hand 手工制作；by on
C
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 on
［正］ It's on
［析］ must用来表示一种肯定的推断，如：She must have 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+have+过去分词"的表达法，如：The lights have gone out.A fuse must have blown.而对过去的否定推测则多用"can't+have+过去分词"，如：I don't think he can have heard you. Call again.
［误］ We could not help to laugh at on
［正］ We could not help laughing at on
［正］ We could not help but laugh at on
［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 210 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 have time for a game.
change
［误］ I want to change my camera with that on
［正］ I want to change my camera for that on
［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是指价格便宜，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 have a choose of A or B.
［正］ We each had to have 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 busstop 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 countries.Her 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)。
coffee
［误］ Please give me two waters.
［正］ Please give me two coffees.
［正］ Please give me two cups of water.
［析］ 虽然coffee, water, tea等都是物质名词，但是只有coffee可用coffees取代若干杯coffee,而其他的却不行，其前要加a cup of或a glass of.
colour(color)
［误］ Colours of flowers are red, yellow and white.
［正］ Flowers are red, yellow and white.
［析］ 中文的"花的颜色有红色、黄色和白色"，若译为英文Colours of flowers are…，就显得重复了。
［误］ I like green colour.
［正］ I like green.
［正］ I like colour green.
［析］ colour green中的colour是green的同位语，所以这种说话方式英语是可以接受的。
come
［误］ I came across with an old friend in the street yesterday.
［正］ I came across an old friend in the street yesterday.
［析］ come across是"偶然碰见、遇见"，要直接加宾语，如：I've just come across a beautiful poem in this magazine.
［误］ Where do you come from?
I come from the station.
［正］ Where did you come from?
I came from the station.
［正］ Where do you come from?
I come from China.

［误］ The stars are coming out from the cloud.
［正］ The stars are coming out of the cloud.
［析］ come out of意为"从……地方出来"。
come in come into enter
come in与come into的意义相同，但come into后面要加宾语，而come in后面不用宾语。如I found someone came into my room. The door opened and the child came in.
enter常作为及物动词使用，如：The bus entered the English tunnel.
congratulate
［误］ I want to congratulate you for your success with all my heart.
［正］ I want to congratulate you on your success with all my heart.
［析］ 动词congratulate somebody on something是"向某人祝贺某事"。其名词congratulation在用时一般要用复数，如：I offered him my congratulations on his success.
又如：Congratulations!
cook
［误］ My father is a good cooker.
［正］ My father is a good cook.
［析］ 很多动词加上er则变为执行该动作的一种人，如workworker,teachteacher. 但cook即是动词"做饭"，同时名词也是"厨师"。而cooker则是"厨具"、"炊具"之意。如：I will cook the dinner. I bought a good press cooker(高压锅)。
corner
［误］ There is a post office in the corner of the street.
［正］ There is a post office at the corner of the street.
［误］ A girl sat at the corner of the room.

cost
［误］ I cost ten dollars for the book.
［正］ I spent ten dollars on the book.
［误］ I cost two hours to do my homework.
［正］ It took me two hours to do my homework.
析］ cost, spend. take都可以作"花费"讲，但用法不同。cost的用法是"something+cost+somebody+时间或金钱"，如：The book cost me ten dollars. spend的用法是"somebody+spend+时间+(in)doing something"，如：I spent two hours (in) writing this book. 或"somebody+spend+金钱+on something"，如：I spend two dollars on this book. 而take的用法则要用逻辑主语it:"It+takes+somebody+时间+to do something", 如：It took me an hour to clean the classroom.
country
［误］ You can find cows in a country.
［正］ You can find cows in the country.
［析］ country即可作"国家"讲，也可作"农村"讲。当作"农村"讲时，一定要加定冠词，而且只有单数形式。例如：
［误］ Farmers live in the countries.
［正］ Farmers live in the country.
［析］ 但作为"国家"讲时则可有单、复数形式，例如：Japan is an Asian country. Japan, China, and India are Asian countries.另外，country一般指的是地理概念上的国家，如：New Zealand is an agricultural country. 而nation多指民族组成的国家，如：The Chinese nation(中华民族)。state多侧重于政权方面的区域、国家范围，如：the state farm(国营农场)。
cross
［误］ There are traffic lights at the cross.
［正］ There are traffic lights at the crossing.
［析］ cross作为名词讲时是十字架、十字形的东西，如：Red Cross(红十字会)。
［误］ The little boy is going to across the street.
［正］ The little boy is going to cross the street.
［析］ across是副词或介词，但不能作动词用。
cross pass
cross是指横过某地，如：He crossed the square. 而pass则强调从某物体旁经过，如：I mailed some letters when I passed the post office.
crowd
［误］ The room soon was crowded by people.
［正］ The room soon was crowded with people.
［析］ crowded在这句话中应作为形容词，所以这句话不是被动语态而是系表结构，如：The room was crowded with books.
cup
［误］ A silver glass was given to the winner.
［正］ A silver cup was given to the winner.
［误］ My mother was looking for the whisky cup.
［正］ My mother was looking for the whisky glass.
［析］ glass一般指由玻璃制成的器皿，而cup多指用陶瓷或金属制成的杯子，且cup尤其用在奖杯上。喝酒多用的是玻璃制成的杯子，如我们讲I drink a glass of wine at supper. 而不讲I drink a cup of wine at supper.
D
dance
［误］ We'll invite you and your wife to a dance party.
［正］ We'll invite you and your wife to a dancing party.
［正］ We'll invite you and your wife to a dance.

date
［误］ He studied ten hours a date.

［误］ Today's date is January first. 1998.
［正］ Today's date is January 1， 1998.
［正］ Today's date is January 1st， 1998.
［析］ 在日期书写中不要用序数词全写，而要用1st， 2nd， 3rd……如果一定要用序数词，其顺序应为：It is the first of January.
day
［误］ This is a book about every day English.
［正］ This is a book about everyday English.
［正］ This is an everyday English book.
［误］ We go to school everyday.
［正］ We go to school every day.
［析］ everyday是形容词，意为"日常的"，而every day则是"每天"、"天天"之意。
dead
［误］ My father has died for ten years.
［正］ My father has been dead for ten years.
［析］ die是瞬间动词，它可以用于完成时，如：My father has died. 但用于完成时不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。它也可以用于过去时，如：My father died three years ago
［误］ We'll always remember the deads who were killed in the war.
［正］ We'll always remember the dead who were killed in the war.
［析］ 形容词前如加定冠词表示一类人，如the rich(富人)，the sick(病人)，the poor(穷人)，其后的谓语动词要用复数，如：The rich are not always happy.
dead deadly
dead在某些词组里是"完全"、"的确"的意思，如dead right, dead tired, dead sure。而deadly则是"致命的"，如：The rich man had many deadly enemies. 又如：Cancer is a deadly disease.
dead died
dead是形容词，如：Mrs Ginty was dead. 而died是动词die的过去式及过去分词，如：She died in 1960.但英语中如表达出对某人去世的伤感说法是pass away, 如：My father passed away, this morning.
deer
［误］ In the zoo, there are many deers.
［正］ In the zoo, there are many deer.
［析］ deer是单、复数同形的词，如：on
