英语讲义【19】容易混淆的常用词

发布时间:2016-03-01  编辑:查字典英语网小编

  两个学生的作业里有这两句话:

  ①Singapore is a small and young country. Its achievements have been significant.

  ②Beside attacking student mobs, the author also criticized the goverments indulgent attitude.

  两句中各有一个错误,即:Its和Beside;应该是 Its和Besides才对。Its是it is的缩写,Its才是所有代名词它的。Beside是在旁边,而Besides 才是除此之外。

  像这样形似义异的字,在英语里相当多,稍微粗心,便会混淆不清。
