写作不出错
能在写作中避免那些听不出来、但写出来一眼就能看到的错误。
标注的核心时长。核心模块中有两项未标注时长,因此实际课时比总和更长。
语法
5 分钟有三组词读音相同,意思不同。听是听不出区别的,只有写出来才看得出。
| your | 你的,你们的 | Is this your bag? |
| you're | you are | You're late. |
| their | 他们的 | Their house is big. |
| they're | they are | They're at home. |
| there | 那里;there is | There is a shop there. |
| its | 它的(指东西、动物) | The cat drank its milk. |
| it's | it is / it has | It's raining. |
检查的方法只有一个:把撇号还原。 如果还原出来是 you are、they are、 it is,就要写撇号;如果不是,就不写。
英语的撇号只有两个用处:
| 代替省略的字母 | it's = it is, don't = do not |
| 表示所属 | Anna's bag, my father's car |
复数不加撇号:✗ two book's → ✓ two books。
逗号——先掌握三种情况:
| 列举 | I bought bread, milk and eggs. |
| 从句在前 | If it rains, I'll stay at home. |
| 称呼 | Thanks, Anna. |
think、say 后面的 that 前面不加逗号:I think that it's good。
中文母语者的常见错误
已针对你的语言编写不用大写。
✗ hi anna、✗ on tuesday、✗ i think → ✓ Hi Anna、on Tuesday、I think。汉字没有大小写,所以最容易忘。句子的第一个字母、I、人名和地名、星期和月份都要大写。
撇号漏写或乱加。
✗ Its raining → ✓ It's raining;✗ two book's → ✓ two books。汉语里没有撇号,所以它不是被漏掉,就是被加在不该加的地方。复数不加;its(它的)也不加,它和 his 一样是一个独立的词。
用逗号把两个句子连起来。
✗ It's on Tuesday, their office is near the station.
✓ It's on Tuesday. Their office is near the station.
汉语一句话可以用逗号一直连下去,意思说完才用句号。英语里两个完整的句子之间要用句号,或者用 and、but、so 连起来。
发音
3 分钟这几组词读音完全相同,这是关于它们最需要知道的一点:
| your = you're | /jɔː/ 或 /jʊə/ |
| their = they're = there | /ðeə/ |
| its = it's | /ɪts/ |
所以听是听不出错误的,只有读自己写的东西才能发现。写完再读一遍,把每个撇号都还原出来。
