PTE写作常见语法错误

以下语法错误常见于PTE写作中，请考生们引以为鉴。

错误一 将动词做主语

        出现这个问题往往是中式表达的缘故，考生将中文意思直接翻译成了英文

        错例: 保护环境人人有责

                  Protect the environment is each individual's responsibility.

        这个句子里面，protect the environment 变成了主语。当想用动词作为主语的时候，请将  动词变成动名词形式，例如：

                Protecting the environment is each individual's responsibility.

错误二 句子中有多个动词

        出现这种问题的原因往往是因为中式逻辑，用中文翻成英语写作而忽视了英语的语法要求

错例：Students receive job training can become competitive in the labour market;

这个句子中出现了两个动词, receive 和 can become. 注意一个句子中应该有且只有一个谓语动词。

改正：应该添加一个从句结构。

Students who receive job training can become competitive in the labour market;

Students can become competitive in the labour market if they receive skills training.

错误三 There be 句型中谓语没有随其后名词改变

        这类问题其实也算是主谓不一致问题

错例：There is a number of countries which know that they will soon be underwater if global warming is permitted to continue.

There be 句式中 be动词的形式要跟后面跟的名词的具体单复数形式而变化。这里There be 结构中的主语是countries, 所以谓语动词要用are.

改正：There are a number of countries which know that they will soon be underwater if global warming is permitted to continue.

错误四 主谓不一致

有时在SWT中大家要会写一些比较复杂的句式，例如插入成分或同谓语成分。在写作的过程当中，每每遇到以上几种情况的时候，回头重新找到句子的主语是最重要的。

例如：Thomas Edison, one of the most distinguished scientists, is a brilliant inventor.这里在写完第二个逗号的时候，就应该回过头来看看主语Thomas Edison是单数的第三人称，而不能被插入成分中的scientists所蒙蔽。所以这里的谓语要用is 而不是are.

错例：Cardiopathy, coupled with poor diet, lead to severe diabetes.

这就话中主语为cardiopathy, 谓语应该为单三形式。

改正：Cardiopathy, coupled with poor diet, leads to severe diabetes.

错误五 不及物动词和系动词写了被动语态

happen, appear, disappear, rise, emerge, occur, take place 这些词都没有被动语态

错例：The accident was similar to the one that was happened last year;

改正：The accident was similar to the one that happened last year.

错误六 丢失冠词

        俗称“名词裸奔”，意思为一个可数名词前面既没有加冠词后面也没有用复数形式

错例：A part-time job offers you chance to demonstrate your ability and apply what you have learned in school.

改正：A part-time job offers you a chance to demonstrate your ability and apply what you have learned in school.

错误七 词性混淆

一些英语基础比较薄弱的考生往往会出现这个问题

错例：A large number of people hold the believe that students' social activities should be the first priority.

改正：A large number of people hold the belief that students' social activities should be the first priority.

这个例子中believe是动词，belief才是名词形式。虽然发音相近，但是用法却完全不同。
