托福写作的评分标准中对语言语法有具体的要求。本文将列举同学们常见语法错误,大家写作中应注意规避。根据以往同学常犯的错误我们将进行分析,下文中的例子均是之前同学们常写出的问题句。此处我们会重点讲解:句子结构错误。
主谓数量一致
简单句是句子最基本单位,要符合完整性,即一个句子必须有且只有一套主语和谓语。如果
需要多主谓结构,需要连接词连接或者表现出逻辑关系才可以。
例1:
原句:One day, I watched this program talk about the habits of lions.
修改:将talk改为talking。
原因:句中有谓语watched,则talk需要改为非谓语动词。
例2:
原句:The reading passage contends that read fewer literature books has bad effect for reading public culture and the future of literature.
修改:将read改为reading。
原因:句中有谓语has,同时read是其主语,所以将read改为动名词。
例3:
原句:The professor proves that this claim is not correct by pointing out that destroy fossils is better than bury them in the ground.
修改:将destroy改为destroying;将bury改为burying。
原因:句中有谓语is,同时destroy和bury是其主语,故改为动名词。
例4:
原句:I loved every exciting movement that the sportsmen make, those kinds of movement make me very relaxed.
修改:将逗号改为分号,或句号(若改为句号,此时后面those开头字母t大写)。
原因:逗号没有连接两句话的功能。
例5:
原句:It is undeniable that modern people change their jobs continuously, imaginably, some people reckoned that the ability to adapt to the new environment is essential.
修改:将第一个逗号改为分号,或句号(若改为句号,此时后面imaginably开头字母i大写)。
原因:逗号没有连接两句话的功能。
例6:
原句:My brother had only learned concepts in the textbooks before, thus after the experiment, he gradually knew better about knowledge on the books.
修改:将thus改为but。
原因:thus是副词,没有连接功能;同时前后是反义关系,故改为but。
例7:
原句:Obviously, the professor’s argument disproves its counterpart in the reading. Even though the reading passage suggests that Chevalier is very poor.
修改:将句号改为逗号,同时后面even小写。
原因:even though当逻辑连接词,要连接两句话。
例8:
原句:Despite the statement in the reading that eco-certified wood is more expensive than normal wood. The professor contends that American customers will care about the price only when price difference is too big.
修改:将句号改为逗号,同时后面the小写。
原因:despite表明了逻辑关系,需要跟句号后的句子有逻辑关系。
例9:
原句:If you choosing an unsecure job, you will always worry about the stability of your job.
修改:将choosing改为choose。
原因:if如果连接句子,其中必须有谓语。
