谓语动词的错误是历年考试的重点和热点
1、常见动词错误类型
①一般现在时与一般过去时错用；
②and前后动词时态不一致；
③主谓不一致；
④缺少动词,特别是be动词；
⑤第三人称单数形式错用；
⑥主动语态和被动语态错用。
例如：
a.
A number of students is going to learn a foreign language.
(is → are)
b.
He go to school by bike every day.
(go→ goes）
c.
My favourite sport is football. I was a member of our school football team. Now my picture and prize were hanging in the library.
(were → are)
d.
New bicycles must keep inside.
(keep→ be kept)
a句中a number of +复数名词做主语时，其谓语动词用复数形式。
b句中He是第三人称单数，在一般现在时态中谓语动词go应该加es。
c句中属于时态错误。找出此类错误的关键是树立牢固的时态概念，注意短文内容发生或存在的时间，保持时间概念的一致性。
d句中法结构未能正确使用英语中的被动式。学生还会犯一些其它方面的错误，其中之一是常常把英语里没有被动语态的词（组）
如take place、occur、happen、belong to、appear、break out、rise、die等用于被动语态。
2、名词的常见错误
单复数名词错用，可数名词与不可数名词错用。
例如：
…so that I'll get good marks in all my subject.
(subject → subjects)
3、连词错误
连词包括关系代词、副词，并列连词and/or/but等。关于连词，一般考查从句关系：
who/whom/whose/what/which/how/why/when/where/if/whether等。
连词but, and, or和so的用法错误(可以归类为逻辑错误)，以及冠词的用法错误等。
例如：
a.
She was smiling but nodding at me.
(but → and)
b.
It looks as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest.
(and → or )
c.
We may be one family and live under a same roof.
(a → the)
4、冠词错误
冠词考查分两个方面，一是冠词的残缺或多余，考生要注意加冠词与不加冠词的区别。
如：in charge of与in the charge of，out of question与out of the question的区别。
二是不定冠词和定冠词之间的相互误用。
英汉名词确有许多共同点，但是也有不少不同点。英语名词有可数与不可数之分，汉语里没有，且一般情况下，名词都可受到数量词的限制。因此，在英语写作中，一旦涉及到advice，news，progress，weather，information等少数常用不可数名词时，学生往往会犯错误。
注意：少数不可数名词在被形容词等修饰后，可用a/an等来修饰。如time（时间）,rain（雨）。
所以我们可以说：We had a wonderful time yesterday.
例如：
a.
The driver brought the car to ∧ stop. In this way, he avoided an accident.
(a)
b.
When ∧ sun was setting, he still did not catch any fish.
(the)
5、形容词和副词错误
系动词后用形容词(be/am/is/are/was/were/become/go/感官性动词smell/feel)；词性的误用(形容词修饰名词;副词修饰动词、形容词)。
例如：
a.
I'm sure we'll have a wonderfully time together.
(wonderfully → wonderful)
b.
Unfortunate, there are too many people in my family.
(Unfortunate → Unfortunately)
注意：形容词多用来做定、表、补语等，而副词只能在句子中作状语，修饰动词、形容词、副词或整个句子。a句中的wonderful作定语修饰time，b句的Unfortunately作状语修饰整个句子。
6、代词错误
代词主要有人称代词、物主代词、关系代词、反身代词、疑问代词、指示代词。
要注意代词的主格和宾格
(I/me;he/him;she/her;we/us;they/them)的误用;
反身代代词
(myself/yourself/himself/herself/themselves/ourselves）
的误用;
代词的各人称之间和单复数之间的误用，关系代词which，that之间的误用，关系代词that与疑问代词what之间的误用，关系代词which与关系副词when，where以及what与how的误用等。
例如：
a.
We do not like he.
（he → him）
b.
If you like this books, you can take them away.
(this → these)
c.
His book is different from me.
(me → mine)
d.
The population of China is larger than those of Japan.
(those → that)
7、非谓语动词的常见错误
不定式、动名词作主语、宾语时;and连接的不定式或动名词前后不一致(尤其距离较远时);介词后用动名词形式作宾语;某些动词后要求接动名词或不定式。
例如：
a
.…in my spare time, but now I am interesting in football.
(interesting → interested)
b.
Play football not only makes us grow up tall and strong but also …
(play → playing)
c.
My parents love me … and will do all they can ∧ make sure …
(to)
上述b、c两个句子分别是动名词作主语，和不定式作目的状语。一般的，现在分词有主动态和进行时的含义，而过去分词具有被动态和完成时的含义，不定式有将来时态的含义。
