1. for
[误]I wanted to go to the pub for having a drink.
[正]I wanted to go to the pub for a drink.
[正]I wanted to go to the pub to have a drink.
[析]用for表示目的时,其后面只能接名词,而不要接动名词。
[误]I went to the office for seeing the headmaster.
[正]I went to the office to see the headmaster.
[析]用不定式来表示动作的目的。

[析]词组be good (bad) for 表示对有好(坏)处。
[误]For I was feeling quite hungry, I wanted to have lunch.
[正]I wanted to have lunch, for I was feeling quite hungry.
[析]for作为因为讲时一般不要置于句首,而且口气也比because弱的多。
2. forget
[误]I left my key.
[正]I left my key at home.
[正]I forgot my key.
[析]leave是丢下之意,所以一定要接地点状语,而forget是忘记,所以不用接地点状语。
[误]I will not forget the rules.
[正]I will never forget the rules.
[误]Please dont forget posting my letter on your way home.
[正]Please dont forget to post my letter on your way home.
[析]要注意forget to do something为忘了去作某事,而forget doing something则应译为对已经作过的事记不起来了。如:He forget returning the book to the library. 应译为他忘记已把书还给图书馆这件事了。同样用法的词还有remember和regret.
3. free
[误]You can speak free in front of my parents.

[析]free作为副词时意为免费、不必付款,如:You can eat free in my restaurant. 而freely则意为自由地、无限制地。

[正]She comes from France.
[析]French是法语、法国的,而France才是法国。
5. friend
[误]He nodded to me friendly.
[正]He nodded to me in a friendly fashion.
[析]friendly是形容词,不是副词。在英语中应避免讲He is a friend of my mother. 又比如:I go to school with my friend. 从语法上讲是对的但不是习惯上英语的说法。而应讲He is a friend of my mothers. I go to school with a friend. be friends with 则是交朋友之意,例如:I hope you will be friends with me. 而不应讲I hope you will be my friend. 交朋友还有一惯用法是make friends.
6. from
[误]Where do you come from? I come from the library.
[正]Where do you come from? I come from England.
[正]Where did you come from? I came from the library.
[析]Where do you come from?应意为你是从什么国家(地方)来的?(即意为你是哪的人?)而Where did you come from?才是你刚刚从哪来?
7. front
[误]There are three tall trees in the front of my house.
[正]There are three tall trees in front of my house.

8. game
[误]He went to America to take part in the Olympic Game.
[正]He went to America to take part in the Olympic Games.
[析]game作为运动会讲时应用其复数形式,而具体一个游戏则可用其单数形式。如:Our school team won the game.
9. German
[误]They are Germen.
[正]They are Germans.
[误]She comes from German.
[正]She comes from Germany.
[析]German是德国人、德国的、德语,其复数形式是Germans;而Germany才是德国。
