SAT语法补习:
Neither…or…; Either… or…后面的谓语跟第二个主语保持一致。
…along with…; …as well as…; …in addition to…与第一个主语保持一致。
Both…and…就不说了,用复数形态。
固定搭配。动词与介词,比如look at。连词搭配,比如either…or…一般判断:看到有介词划线就注意一下。这种题目平时积累很重要!
背固定搭配的时候一定要注意介词与不定式的区分问题!比如look forward to,to是介词,后面的动词要使用动名词形式。
代词。主格与宾格。指代不明。文中出现的多个代词不一致。一般判断方法:代词是用来指代的。看到代词马上回头寻找其指代对象。
To become a world figure-skating champion like Kristi Yamaguchi, one must be so dedicated that you will practice six hours a day. No error.
这句话的问题在于代词使用不一致。请看one must be so dedicated that you will practice six hours a day,前面用的代词是one,但是后文使用的是you,再理解句意,不难发现两个代词其实是在指代同一个人。所以应该把you改成one.
平行并列结构。两个以上的分句并列时,一般美国人爱用并列结构,这样的好处是使文章看起来工整。一般判断方法:出现多个并列成分;出现比如from…to…等类似的经典介词组合。注意:并列结构使SAT很喜歡考察的内容!
Each time Caroline turns on her computer, she has to enter a company code, then her initials, and then enters a password before she can begin working. No error.
读句子,发现这个女人工作之前要干3件事:enter a company code, enters her initials, enters a password,这3个动作构成了并列。题干已经有提示:she has to enter a company code, then (enters)her initials, 所以剩下来的enters毫无疑问也应该省略即改成and then(enters)a password before she can begin working
A talented and versatile artist, Twyla Tharp has been a dancer, choreographer, and collaborated on various productions. No error.
还是并列结构,改成has been a dancer, choreographer, and collaborator.这样的句子就很整洁了。写作的时候可以用上的。
形容词与副词混淆。判断:看到以后注意就行了。
Although the new device was the most clever designed bird feeder that Ms. Rodriguez had ever owned, it could not keep squirrels from stealing the birdseed. No error.
用Word一看就知道哪里有错了……clever designed里头,designed是动词,clever是修饰designed的。但是修饰动词的只有副词,所以毫无疑问要将clever改成cleverly.
逻辑。双重否定。
同级比较。比如My pen in more beautiful than you. Pen跟you并不是同一类事物。
n. 码,密码,法规,准则
vt. 把 ...
