SAT语法考试典型语法错误汇总 一、不间断句子(Run-on Sentences) 什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。例1.There are many ways we get to know the outside world.剖析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:“There are many ways.”以及“We get to know the outside world.”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。改为:There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world.或:There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world. 二、累赘(Redundancy) 言以简洁为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词;写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组;能用词组的不用从句或句子。如:In spite of the fact that he is lazy,I like him.本句的“the fact that he is lazy”系同谓语从句,我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为:In spite of his laziness,I like him.例1.For the people who are diligent and kind,money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.剖析:整个句子可以大大简化。改为:Diligent,caring people use money only to buy what they need. 三、不连贯(Incoherence) 不连贯是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通。这也是考生常犯的毛病。例1.The fresh water,it is the most important things of the earth.剖析:The fresh water与逗号后的it不连贯。It与things在数方面不一致。改为:Fresh water is the most important thing in the world. 四、不一致 所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致时态不一致及代词不一致等。例1.When one have money,he can do what he want to.(人一旦有了钱,他就能想干什么就干什么。)剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has;同理,want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致。改为:Once one has money,he can do what he wants(to do)
