英语常见英文用法错误E

例：every child was given a nice present.

上述两句例句在文法上都是正确的，唯一的差别在于第一句指的是每个小朋友都得到了各自独特的礼物，而第二句则是强调每一个小朋友都得到了很不错的礼物。

2. 错误发生情况及修正

a. 在 each 或 every 后直接加了复数名词。

例：the teacher asked us to answer each questions on the book.

the teacher asked us to answer each question on the book.

老师求我们回答书上的每一个问题。

虽然每一个问题加起来就不只一个是复数了，但是记得在 each 或 every 后面一律加单数名词。

b. 在 each 或 every 后用了复数的动词语态。

例：everyone have his or her good points.

everyone has his or her good points.

每个人都有他的优点。

记住 each 或 every 后面的动词要用单数的语态！另外其后如果必须用到所有格代名词来指称前面提过的名词，可以用 his or her~ 或者直接用复数的 their~ 即可。

例：each student must make up their own mind. 每个学生必须要自己下决定。
