在学生平时的SAT写作练习中,留学的老师们通过长期的观察与总结,发现了6类常见的问题,这是导致学生在考试中丢分的原因。在英语中动词形式有多种,考生容易犯的错误就是对动词在不同地方使用的形式把握不清,有的应该使用动名词的,却直接用了动词原形,有的应该使用过去分词的,却是用了动名词。今天我们就来看SAT写作6类常见问题之四:动词形式。
1、Original: So take all the above factors into account,I may not quite agree with the opinion that parents are our best teaches.
Revised:So,taking all of the above factors into account,I do not agree with the opinion that parents are our best teachers.
本段开头的so take all 本应该是伴随状语成分,但作者直接用了动词原形,这是错误的,应该和主句的主语I保持逻辑一致,是作者把以上的因素考虑在内的。除此以外,原句中作者为能明确表明自己的立场,把may not quite agree改为do not agree。
2、Original:We can enjoy the art of cuisine in cooking rather than tolerating the time-consuming preparation.
Revised: We can enjoy the art of cooking rather than simply tolerate the time-consuming preparation.
rather than的前后用此应保持一致,此处rather than后的用词要与其前面的动词原形enjoy保持一致,故将tolerating改为tolerate。原句中还有一个用此问题,cuisine本意为烹饪,与in cooking冲突,故只保留一个cooking即可。
3、Original:Drink water with hygiene will certainly benefit the local folks a lot.
Revised:Drinking clean water will certainly benefit the local population.
原句动名词作主语,将drink该为drinking。原句中还有词汇表达问题:干净的水用clean water表达恰当,不用water with hygiene。
4、Original:The rapid development of science and technology has lead to an increasing need for more relaxation in off-work time.
Revised:The rapid development of modern economies has led to an increasing need for more relaxation in off-work time.
原句中lead在现在完成时中应该用过去分词,应该为led。
5、Original:CCTV 10 is such a channel intended to teach people...
Revised:CCTV 10 is a channe that teaches people...
原句中的intend不应用过去分词的形式。
6、Original:They keep focused on money while friends and families slip away.
Revised:They keep focusing on money while friends and families slip away.
focus此处应该用动名词形式,keep doing一直做某事,keep focusing on。
通过以上的分析,在SAT写作中考生需注意以下几点:固定搭配中的动词形式;动名词或动词不定式可以作主语;不同时态、语态中的动词形式。虚拟语气也是SAT写作中容易出现问题的地方,主要是由于考生在写作中没有使用虚拟语气的意识。所以,在平时考生应该加强对虚拟语气的了解,注意虚拟语气中动词的使用。
