1. There are fourteen hundreds students in our school.

Hundred / thousand / million / score/ dozen等詞前有具體數(shù)字時(shí)后不加s，前面沒有具體數(shù)字時(shí)在其后加s 和of，表示大約幾百幾千的概念。如 two hundred students（兩百個(gè)學(xué)生），hundreds of students（成百上千個(gè)學(xué)生）。例句中應(yīng)把hundreds 改為hundred。

2. Their school is twice as larger as our school.

表倍數(shù)關(guān)系的as---as中間只能用形容詞或副詞的原級(jí)。因此把larger改為large.

3. Today’s homework is a five-hundred-words composition.

幾個(gè)單詞由連字符連接而組成的復(fù)合形容詞中的名詞只能用單數(shù)，所以把five-hundred-words改為five-hundred-word.

4. Two third of the students in our school are from America.

英語表達(dá)中分?jǐn)?shù)的分子用基數(shù)詞，分母用序數(shù)詞，分子大于一時(shí)分母后要加s，所以就把third 改為thirds.

形容詞和副詞

形容詞和副詞容易被誤用，形容詞和副詞的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)也是應(yīng)注意的重點(diǎn)。

1. The patient appeared nervously when he talked to the doctor.

appear在此是個(gè)系動(dòng)詞，其后應(yīng)接形容詞作表語。所以把nervously改為nervous.

2. The artist worked hardly to finish his drawings on time.

此句需要一個(gè)副詞來修飾，hardly是副詞，但意為“幾乎不”，hard 也可以是副詞，表努力，因此把 hardly 改為hard.

3. This shirt is more cheaper than that one.

More只構(gòu)成比較級(jí)，而不能修飾比較級(jí)。因此把more去掉。

4. He is the most successful of the two businessmen.

兩者相比較時(shí)，比較級(jí)前用定冠詞，三者或三者以上才用most，因此把most改為more.

5. He works less harder than he used to.

表不如… 時(shí)用less加上形容詞和副詞的原級(jí)，因此把harder改為hard.

6. The book is fairly more interesting than that one.

fairly只能修飾形容詞和副詞的原級(jí)，可以修飾比較級(jí)的副詞或短語有：much, even, still, far, a lot, a little, a bit, any, no, by far, rather等，因此把fairly改為rather.

7. This is as an interesting a story as the one in the magazine.

as … as中間的詞序是as加上形容詞加上a(n)加上名詞再加上as，因此應(yīng)改為as interesting a story as the one.

8. The weather here is nicer than Xizang.

同樣的事物才能相比較，weather和Xizang不具有可比性，因此應(yīng)改為The weather here is nicer than that of Xizang.

9.You shouldn't stand too closely to him

有些副詞有兩種形式，一個(gè)與形容詞同形，一個(gè)以形容詞-ly構(gòu)成，但他們有不同的含義。close靠近、挨近；closely緊密地，緊緊地

10. I would rather take a train than went by bus.

這個(gè)詞組為would rather do … than do …，因此把went改為go.

11. Is there interesting anything at the meeting?

修飾anything, something, every-thing, nothing的形容詞都要放在它們的后面。

12. I never have seen such a person before.

像never之類的副詞在句中應(yīng)放在be動(dòng)詞、助動(dòng)詞之后，實(shí)意動(dòng)詞之前。因?yàn)閼?yīng)改為I have never seen such a person before.

13. The book is worth to be read.

be worth doing 意為值得被做。因此改為The book is worth reading.

14. It is sure that he will succeed.

sure 的主語只能為人，而certain的主語可為人和物。因此把sure改為certain.

15. He is regarded as one of the best alive writers at present.

alive 為表語形容詞，偶爾也做后置定語。因此把a(bǔ)live改為living，或把a(bǔ)live 放在writers后面。

16. I don’t know that he has finished the work yet.

yet 用于否定和疑問句，already用于肯定句。把yet 改為already.

17. He said nearly nothing at the meeting.

nearly 不與否定詞用在同一個(gè)句子中，而almost可以。因此把nearly 改為almost.
