英语短文改错实战经验七

djt000

发现有多重结构的句子时，就要检查是否有时态、语态、引导词或成分短缺等错误。如：

1.I always wanted to return to the village after moving away and it is really great to see most of my old friends again.

  该句前后两个分句的时态和人称应当保持一致，所以应当把is改为was。

  

2.Mke asks Lily if she knows the girl is speaking to her.

  该句犯了多词或少词的错误，应当在is前加上who或者去掉is。

  

3. And whether you pay the cost of sending a postcard, the librarian will write to you.

  应当把whether(是否)改为if(如果)，因为这里不是名词性从句，而是条件状语从句。

  

4. He lives in London, where is the capital of England.

  在这个非限制性定语从句中，引导词作主语，所以应当把where改为which。也可以省去where is，the capital为同位语，变成简单句。

   

5. He wrote to me immediately as soon as he got to London.

    该句犯了连词immediately和as soon as重复使用的错误，应当去掉immediately。
