中考英语动态:中考英语常见错误M系列

M?

make ?

［误］ The little boy was made repeat the whole story.?

［正］ The little boy was made to repeat the whole story.?

［误］ The father made his son to do his homework from morning till night.?

［正］ The father made his son do his homework from morning till night.?

［析］ make 的句型为"make somebody do (doing) something".但在被动语态中原来被省去的不定式符号to要被还原回来。?

［误］ I always do this mistake.?

［正］ I always make this mistake.?

［析］ 英语中do和make是十分不易弄清的两个动词，do常用于谈论工作时或某种不确定的活动时，如： do a favour(帮个忙)，do one's best(竭尽全力)，do good(有益)， do harm(有害)，而多数情况下常用make, 如： make a suggestion, make a cake, make a bed(收拾床)，make a noise, make money等等。?

［误］ This wine was made of grapes.?

［正］ This wine was made from grapes.?

［析］ 当成品制成后，其原料的性质有所改变时应用make from，否则用make of， 如： This door was made of iron.?

［误］ Hard work can often make up a lack of intelligence.?

［正］ Hard work can often make up for a lack of intelligence.?

［析］ make up是"创造"、"编织"，而make up for是"弥补……的不足之处"。上句应译为"勤奋工作可以弥补天资的不足。"?

［误］ We made up our mind to study hard.?

［正］ We made up our minds to study hard.?

［析］ mind这里是可数名词，使用时要特别予以注意make up one's mind是"下定决心"之意。?

［误］ Our class is made of twenty girls and twenty?one boys.?

［正］ Our class is made up of twenty girls and twenty?one boys.?

［析］ make up of…是"某物由……组成或构成"。?

many ?

［误］ I have many friends.?

［正］ I have a lot of friends.?

［析］ many和much多用于疑问句或否定句中，而在肯定句中则用处不多，尤其在非正式谈话中。如：?

-How much money have you got??

-I've got plenty.?

［误］ You bought much too tomatoes.?

［正］ You bought too many tomatoes.?

［析］ too many后接可数名词，too much后接不可数名词，而much too后面接形容词，意为"太多"。?

［误］ For many a weeks it rained a lot.?

［正］ For many a week it rained a lot.?

［析］ many a意为"好多"、"许多"，但其后面要加单数名词

。?

matter ?

［误］ No matter what you did.?

［正］ No matter what you did, I trusted you.?

［析］ No matter是个词组，意为"不论"，它的语法功能是起连接作用，所以不能用于一个单独的句子。?

it doesn't matter这个词组则不是一个连接词组，所以可以和一个单句连用，如： It ?doesn't? mater what you say. (你说什么都不要紧。)?

maybe ?

［误］ May be he is right.?

［正］ Maybe he is right.?

［析］ maybe是副词，不要错用为may be.?
