A) 形容词/ 副词 :
比较典型的错误有 : You speak English really good.
正确的说法应该是把 good 改成 well.
这里再题型大家一下这两类词的搭配规律 : 形容修饰配名词, 副词修辞动词和形容词.
Ex.) The finance director gave an approximately forecast for the next fiscal year. « approximately » 是副词，所以不能修饰 forecast。正确的说是把它改成 «approximate » .
B) 比较级 / 最高级：
典型的错误： Of the two sisters, Ellen is the most outgoing.
需要提醒大家的是，在两个事物 / 人物之间做比较的时候是不可以用最高级的！我们可以说：
Of the two sisters, Ellen is the more outgoing.
或 Ellen is the most outgoing girl in the class.
通常我们区分用来修饰事/ 物的形容词和表达意见的形容词两种。当句子中同时出现两个形容词的时候，用来表达意见的形容词(nice, lovely, intelligent, etc.)位于修饰事 /物的前面 : Ex.) There is abeautiful large old wooden table in the conference room,
The ;essenger delivered an i ;portant-lookinglong narrow envelope.
表示尺寸和长度的形容词通常放在修饰形状和宽窄的前面 :
Ex.) A large rounddish
A charming long narrow street

B) 副词：
当只有一个副词在句子中出现，而且表示的是某个不确切的频率时，这个副词的位置在动词前面。 Ex.) Mr.Barrett always drives to work.
当句子中的动词成分由两个词组成时，副词的位置在这两个动词中间。 Ex.) Mr.Barrett can always take the bus towork if his car is in the shop.
The leadership circle will probably decide on the proposaltomorrow.
当这个副词表示一个确切的频率时，
他的位置应该在句子的开头或结尾。 Ex.)Every morning, he drinks a cup ofcoffee.

4. Jack and Mike are______________ enginners who began to work at the company several weeks ago.

比较简单的区分方法是，过去分词一般表示的是被动语气。 Ex.) I amdisappointed with my test results.
My test results are disappointing.
The class is interested in the lecture.
The lecture is interesting for the class.
对下列的词也是同样的道理： bored /boring, tired / tiring
7) 几对容易混淆的词：
A) during / while 和他们所搭配的不同结构： Ex.) Mr. Warrenhad his calls forwarded while he was away.
« During »后面跟的是一段普遍不特指的时间： during the spring break, during recess. During themeeting, etc.
« while » 后面跟的是一个名词 + 一个动词：while the staff was meeting, while the newswas on, while he was away.
B) that / which :
当关系从句位于两个逗号之间时，我们用which ;当关系从句是属于主句整体的一部分是（没有逗号分隔），我们用that。 Ex.) The keys that Ilost were never found.
The keys, which I thought I had lost,were on the hook by the door.

A. which
B. Who
C. It
D. That
答案是： B，A，A
C) still / yet
« still » 表示的是一种持续性， « yet » 强调的是从过去一直到现在。 Ex.) He is still looking for a job. (他一直在找)
He is not looking for a job yet.(一直到现在，他还没有开始找)
在句子中本身不带否定词时，« yet »有时也可以直接作为否定表达使用： Ex.) He has yet tofind a job. （到现在位置，他一直没有找到工作。）
我们也可以通过句子结构来区别这两个词：
当两个词都出现在一个否定的背景中时， « still » 的位置在否定表达前面，而« yet »通常在句末。 Ex.) He still hasn’t answered my e-mail.
He hasn’t answered my e-mail yet.
8）表示上下句逻辑关联的词 :
Because 表示原因，although表示一种矛盾性。有时在阅读部分中，起决定性的并不一定是语法，还有句子的逻辑性。 Ex.)Although he was a good worker, has wasabsent a lot.
在句子中，我们可以区别一下三种逻辑关联： A) 因果： Ex.)This computer isthe most modern on the market today ; consequently,we will buy ten of this model for the purchasing department.
常见的表示因果的词有：accordingly (donc), then (alors), as a result (par conséquent), consequently (parconséquent), hence (en conséquence), to this end (à cette fin).
B) 转折： Ex.) Marie wouldhave gone to an ATM for today’s petty cash ; however, she didn’t have the company credit card.
可以表示转折关系的词有：however(cependant), nevertheless (néanmoins) C) 递进： Ex.) The CEOannounced that the plant would close ; forthermore, there was a conference call on the subject for thosewho wanted to ask questions.
常见的表示递进的关联词有： besides (d’ailleurs),moreover (d’ailleurs), on the whole (dans l’ensemble), in addition (de plus),furthermore (par ailleurs), for example (par exemple), for this purpose (pourcela), etc.
9) 特殊表达或词组：phrasal verbs
同一个动词后面跟不同介词的时候，所构成的词组的意思也是千差万别的，很容易混淆。
例如： She gave out the agenda. (distribuer)
She gave up trying to convince him. (abandonner)
The troops gave in to the enemy. (se rendre)
The dish gave off a wonderful smell. (produire)
Ex.) 在 « When the meeting was almost over, the missing speaker turned out. » 一句中使用turn out 其实是不正确的。应该使用 turn up.
下面是一些和动词trun搭配的词组：turn around, turn down, turn off, turn on, turn out, turn over.

10) Vocabulaire
A) sens du mot :
在考词汇的题型中考生通常会遇到比较有难度的词，和使用这个词的详细的“背景”。
例如这道题：The largest manufacturer of paper goods announced that it will _____ its plants in order to lower costs.
A. associate B. Console C. Alert D. Consolidate
在不认识生词的情况下，我们首先要做的是分析句子的意思。这里的施动者是 plants – 工厂, 这个将被实施的动作的目的是为了 lower costs. 接下来让我们来具体看看每个选项：
A. associate ： lier les choses ou bien les personnes ;
B. console : aider quelqu’un moralement ;
C. alert : mettre quelqu’un au courant de quelque chose d’urgent ;
D. consolidate : mettre les choses ensemble, les mélanger.
所以最贴近句子意思的答案是D。
B) 组合词组：collocation / association
Collocation 是英语中特有的表达方式。它可以存在于形容词和名词间、副词和动词间，或是动词和名词间。例如：
a) 形容词+名词： There has been a sharp increase in that company’s turnover. (une forte augmentation)
b) 副词+动词：They strongly recommend we lock the safe.
c) 动词+名词：The merging companies finally struck a deal yesterday.
