Grammar Errors • Seven examples • Seven solutions
1st Wrong Example • Jack is goes to school by bike.
Solution • Jack is goes to school by bike. • From this example, we can figure out that students easily put bev. and action verb together. • To avoid this situation, we should let students know what kind of situation to use bev. and practice in class as often as possible.
2nd Wrong Example • He brush his teeth every morning.
Solution • He brush his teeth every morning. • Students sometimes forget to add s or es after the third person verb. • In class, teachers should make some activities to match people and verbs together and test whether students could match them correctly.
3rd Wrong Example • My mom yesterday in the kitchen cooked.
Solution • My mom yesterday in the kitchen cooked. (Wrong order) • From this example, we know students use a “Chinglish” way to make sentences. • In my point of view, we can even teach them some tips, like “ 人、事、地、時” • By the way, we should teach them , when we want to emphasize something, we don’t have to observe the structure. Such as, “ Near the train station , we are going to hold a Christmas party.”
Where to put Adverb (always, often, seldom….) in a sentence? • Wrong: • She eatsalways fruits after lunch. • He never is absent.
Solution • Correct: • She always eats fruits after lunch. • He is never absent. • Students have troubles to put that kind of adverb in a sentence.
We can remember the rule: • be後動前 (be動詞後 一般動詞前) • She often comes on time. • He is never absent.
Not only～but also～ • Wrong: • Tom can not only play the drum but also the piano. • Correct: • Tom can play not only basketball but also soccer.
Solution • Tom can playnot onlythe drum V. N. but alsothe piano. N.
You don’t want to do this, do you? Wrong answer— Yes, I don’t No, I do Correct answer— Yes, I do No, I don’t
Solution The way how to solve this problem Remember the rule— • affirmative answer with affirmative sentence ex: Yes, I do(是的,我不想做) affirmative affirmative • Negative answer with negative sentence ex: No, I don’t (不,我想做) negative negative
Grammar Errors • Because I stayed up too late last night, so I was late for school this morning.
“because” vs. “so” • In Chinese, people have been used to put “because” and “so” into a sentence. In Chinese, that would be correct. But if we do that in English, that would be a big grammar error. In Chinese, the words “because” and “so” are both related to cause and effect. But in English, the word “because” is not only related to cause and effect but also proofs to prove us how things happened.
In this case, it’s also about cultures and language habits. Western people only use one of them to describe the situation. Furthermore, “because” and “so” are all conjunctions, if we put them together like the example, it couldn’t make the sentence to be complete. That’s another grammar error. While we are using a conjunction, we should have a clause before it or after it.
Solution • In my point of view, if I hope my students to avoid this mistake, I would let them know the definition I had mentioned upward. Second, I would give them a funny tip to keep that in mind such as telling them that “because” and “so” are two opposite big shots, they couldn’t stay together at all or there will be a big war!
