雅思寫作常見的語法錯誤歸類

      一、不一致
　　所謂不一致不光指主謂不一致，還包括了數的不一致、時態不一致以及代詞不一致等。比如：When one have money, he can do what he want to.
　　分析：one是第三人稱單數，因此本句的have應改爲has; want應改爲wants, 本句是典型的主謂不一致。
　　改爲：When one has money, he can do what he wants (to do).
　　二、修飾語錯位
　　英語與漢語不同，同一個修飾語置於句子不同的位置，句子的含義可能引起變化。對於這一點考生們往往沒有引起足夠的重視，因而造成了不必要的誤解。比如：I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.
　　分析：better位置不當，應置於句末。
　　三、句子不完整
　　在口語中，交際雙方可藉助手勢語氣上下文等，不完整的句子完全可以被理解。可是書面語就不同了，句子結構不完整會令意思表達不清，這種情況常常在主句寫完以後，作者又想加些補充說明時發生。比如：There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on.
　　分析：本句後半部分"For example by TV, radio, newspaper and so on.”不是一個完整的句子，僅爲一些不連貫的詞語，不能獨立成句。
　　改爲：There are many ways to know society, for example, by TV, radio, and newspaper.
　　四、懸垂修飾語
　　所謂懸垂修飾語是指句首的短語與後面句子的邏輯關係混亂不清。比如：At the age of ten, my grandfather died. 這句中"at the age of ten"只寫出十歲時，但沒有說明“誰”十歲時，按一般推理不可能是my grandfather, 如果我們把這個懸垂修飾語改得明確一點，讀者或考官在讀句子時就不會誤解了。
　　改爲：When I was ten, my grandfather died.
　　五、詞性誤用
　　“詞性誤用”常表現爲：介詞當動詞用;形容詞當副詞用;名詞當動詞用等。比如：None can negative the importance of money.
　　分析：negative系形容詞，誤作動詞。
　　改爲：None can deny the importance of money.
　　六、指代不清
　　指代不清主要講的是代詞與被指代的人或物關係不清，或者先後所用的代詞不一致。比如：Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.
　　讀完上面這一句話，讀者無法明確地判斷兩位姑娘中誰將結婚，誰將當伴娘。如果我們把易於引起誤解的代詞所指代的對象加以明確，意思就一目瞭然了。這個句子可改爲：Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.
　　七、不間斷句子
　　這個錯誤的出現受中文意識的影響很大。很多考生在寫句子時，句子之間缺乏有效的連接成分。甚至，有的句子寫的比較中式化。比如：There are many ways we get to know the outside world.
　　分析：這個句子包含了兩層完整的意思：“there are many ways”以及“we get to know the outside world”。簡單地把它們連在一起就不妥當了。
　　改爲：There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world. 或：There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world.
　　八、措詞毛病
　　學生在寫作中沒有養成良好的推敲，斟酌句子中所選用詞的習慣。大部分考生隨心所欲，拿來就用，所以作文中用詞不當的錯誤隨處可見。比如：The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution.
　　分析：顯然，考生把obstacles“障礙”，“障礙物”誤作substance“物質”了。另外“the increasing use(不斷增加的使用)”應改爲“abusive use(濫用)”。
　　改爲：The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution.
　　九、累贅
　　寫句子沒有一個多餘的詞;寫段落沒有一個無必要的句子。能用單詞的不用詞組;能用詞組的不用從句或句子。比如：In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him.
　　本句的“the fact that he is lazy”系同謂語從句，我們按照上述“能用詞組的不用從句”可以改爲：In spite of his laziness, I like him.
　　比如：For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.
　　整個句子可以大大簡化爲：Diligent people use money only to buy what they need.
　　十、不連貫
　　不連貫是指一個句子前言不對後語，或是結構上不暢通，這也是考生常犯的毛病。比如：The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.
　　分析：the fresh water與逗號後的it不連貫，it與things在數方面不一致。
