think ?
[误] I think you are not right.?
[正] I don't think you are right.?

[误] I think he will come here, do I??
[正] I think he will come here, wont he??
[析] think加宾语从句时,反意疑问句的主语应用宾语从句中的主语,助动词要用宾语从句中的助动词,而肯定还是否定要看主句中的情况决定:如主句用肯定句,则反意疑问句用否定句,反之亦然。?

time ?

[正] The doctor came in time so she was saved.?
[析] in time为"及时赶到",如: Do you think we can get there in time for the first act. 而on time 意为"准时",如: The train arrived on time.?
[误] It is time we go home.?
[正] It is time we should go home.?
[正] It is time we went home.?
[析] "是该作某事的时候了",其句形为: ① It is time for somebody to do something. ② "It is time+从句",从句中用"should+动词原形",或直接用动词的过去式。?

[析] 在too…to这一结构中,如果主语和不定式的宾语是一致的,则不要重复。?

[正] The child is too young to go to school.?

[误] There is much too noise.?
[正] There is too much noise.?
[析] "much too+形容词",而"too much+不可数名词"。?
[误] You have bought too much tomatoes.?
[正] You have bought too many tomatoes.?
[析] too many后才加可数名词。?
also as well too ?
这三个词是近义词,但其用法各有不同。其一,too和as well通常用于句末,如: She went to the cinema and her brother went too. 而also则不用于句末,如: I've also read her other novels. 其二,这三个词都不用于否定句中,否定句中用not…either,或neither/nor…,如: He ?isn't? here either.?
trousers ?
[误] My trouser is getting smaller and smaller.?

[析] 英语中trousers, pants, shorts(短裤),glasses(眼镜)都要用复数形式。?
