四、单句改错
1.Rose is really comfort to all of us. She brings us a lot of fun and happiness.
______________________________________________________
答案:comfort前加a comfort表示“舒适;舒服;安慰”讲时为不可数名词,作“令人安慰的人或事”讲时为可数名词,即此处为“抽象名词具体化”的用法。
2.Occupying with various research projects all day, he was tired out.
______________________________________________________
答案:Occupying→Occupied (be) occupied with ... “忙着做……;忙于某事物”,形容词短语在句中作状语。
3.Since he arrived in Beijing, he has adjusted to eat the northern food gradually.
______________________________________________________
答案:eat→eating 该词组中的to为介词,故后接名词或动名词。adjust to (doing) sth. “适应(做)某事”。
4.The question that many students are puzzled about is how improve their oral English.
______________________________________________________
答案:how后加to “特殊疑问词+to do不定式短语”在该句中作表语。
5.Charlie chaplin is acknowledged of one of the most outstanding comedians in the history of cinema.
______________________________________________________
答案:第一个of→as be acknowledged as ... “被公认为/被认为是……”。
