有些同学因为没有熟练掌握英语介词的用法,不了解中英文语言习惯的不同,也会出现明显的错误,如多用介词或缺少介词,造成丢分现象。
误:I came back because the rain.
正:I came back because of the rain.
析:because 是连词,其后接句子;because of 是介词短语,其后接名词、代词、动名词、what 从句等。
误:Will you marry with me?
析:marry可表示"与……结婚",即marry with sb中的介词with 是多余的,应去掉。类似地,serve for sb (为某人服务)中的介词for也是多余的,应去掉;discuss about sth (讨论某事)中的介词about 也是多余,应去掉。
误:She entered into the kitchen.
正:She entered the kitchen.
析:enter是及物动词,后面不用加介词就可直接带宾语。
误:He did not wait a reply.
正:He did not wait for a reply.
析:wait为不及物动词,需加介词for后才能再跟名词或代词做宾语。
误:I finished the work under the help of the comrades.
正:I finished the work with the help of the comrades.
析:表示"在……的帮助下"用介词with而不用under。
