SAT语法改错讲义(二):语法补习.

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 bore 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 bore 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。
