大学英语写作常见错误（共11类） 一、不一致（Disagreements）　　所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致，它还包括了数的不一致、时态不一致及代词不一致等．　　例１．When one have money ,he can do what he want to .　　(人一旦有了钱，他就能想干什么就干什么．)　　剖析：one是单数第三人称，因而本句的have应改为has ;同理，want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致．　　改为：Once one has money, he can do what he wants (to do) 例2、Early to bed and early to rise are a good habit. (早睡早起是个好习惯。) 本句中早睡早起应被看作不可分割的一件事，因此应与单数谓语形式相搭配，因此改为：Early to bed and early to rise is a good habit. ?二、修饰语错位（Misplaced Modifiers）　　英语与汉语不同，同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置，句子的含义可能引起变化．对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视，因而造成了不必要的误解． 例1、I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.　　剖析：better位置不当，应置于句末． 例2： 误：We have to promote the living standards for people as soon as possible. 　　正：We have to promote the living standards as soon as possible. 　　living standards生活水平只适用于人类，这一点是无庸质疑的，所以for people用在这里毫无必要。 例3： 误：People have taken a series of measures to protect environment. 　　正：People have takenmeasures to protect environment. 　　measure的复数形式已经告诉读者是多项措施，a series of用在这里显得累赘和多余。 　　动词使用不当： 例（1） 误：He wants to bring about a change to his performance this term. 　　正：He wants to change his performance this term. 例（2） 误：I should try my best to get success in English study. 　　正：I should try my best to succeed in English study. 　　以上两个例子从语法上来说是正确的，但是却同样是用词重复、不简洁。在很多学生的英语作文中，原本用一个动词就能表达清楚的意思，学生们却要用动词加名词的形式来表达。表面上是增加了作文字数，实际上是行文罗嗦、重复。类似情况常见在make/have+verb结构中： 　　make an improvement=to improve 　　make a promotion=to promote 　　make an examination=to examine 　　make a decision=to decide 　　have an influence=to influence 　　have an increase=to increase 　　形容词使用不当： 例（1） 误：In order to learn English well，we need necessary knowledge about English culture. 　　正：In order to learn English well，we need knowledge about English culture. 　　 knowledge既然是知识，当然是有用且必要的，necessary在这里纯属多余。 例（2） 误：My study method is not very good，I need further improvement on it. 　　正：My study method is not very good，I need improvement on it. 　　 improve
