Grammar Errors


Seven examples
Seven solutions
1st Wrong Example
 Jack
bike.
is goes to school by
Solution



Jack is goes to school by bike.
From this example, we can figure out
that students easily put bev. and
action verb together.
To avoid this situation, we should let
students know what kind of situation
to use bev. and practice in class as
often as possible.
2nd Wrong Example
 He
brush his teeth every
morning.
Solution



He brush his teeth every morning.
Students sometimes forget to add s
or es after the third person verb.
In class, teachers should make some
activities to match people and verbs
together and test whether students
could match them correctly.
3rd Wrong Example
 My
mom yesterday in
the kitchen cooked.
Solution




My mom yesterday in the kitchen
cooked. (Wrong order)
From this example, we know students use
a “Chinglish” way to make sentences.
In my point of view, we can even teach
them some tips, like “ 人、事、地、時”
By the way, we should teach them , when
we want to emphasize something, we don’t
have to observe the structure. Such as,
“ Near the train station , we are going to
hold a Christmas party.”
Where to put Adverb
(always, often, seldom….) in
a sentence?
Wrong:
 She eats always fruits after
lunch.
 He never is absent.

Solution

Correct:
She always eats fruits after
lunch.
 He is never absent.
 Students have troubles to
put that kind of adverb in a
sentence.


We can remember the rule:

be後動前 (be動詞後 一般動詞前)

She often comes on time.

He is never absent.
Not only～but also～




Wrong:
Tom can not only play the drum
but also the piano.
Correct:
Tom can play not only basketball
but also soccer.
Solution
Tom can play not only the drum
V.
N.
but also the piano.
N.

You don’t want to do this, do you?
Wrong answer—
Yes, I don’t
No, I do
Correct answer—
Yes, I do
No, I don’t
Solution
The way how to solve this problem
Remember the rule—
 affirmative answer with affirmative
sentence
ex: Yes, I do
(是的,我不想做)
affirmative affirmative

Negative answer with negative sentence
ex: No, I don’t
(不,我想做)
negative
negative
Grammar Errors

Because I stayed up too late
last night, so I was late for
school this morning.
“because” vs. “so”

In Chinese, people have been used
to put “because” and “so” into a
sentence. In Chinese, that would be
correct. But if we do that in English,
that would be a big grammar error.
In Chinese, the words “because” and
“so” are both related to cause and
effect. But in English, the word
“because” is not only related to
cause and effect but also proofs to
prove us how things happened.

In this case, it’s also about cultures
and language habits. Western
people only use one of them to
describe the situation.
Furthermore, “because” and “so” are
all conjunctions, if we put them
together like the example, it couldn’t
make the sentence to be complete.
That’s another grammar error. While
we are using a conjunction, we
should have a clause before it or
after it.
Solution

In my point of view, if I hope my
students to avoid this mistake, I
would let them know the definition I
had mentioned upward. Second, I
would give them a funny tip to
keep that in mind such as telling
them that “because” and “so” are two
opposite big shots, they couldn’t stay
together at all or there will be a big
war!
