Grammar

Incorrect use of articles

× She told me that you need to speak a respectful language when you speak to an elderly.

✓ She told me that you need to speak respectful language when you speak to the elderly.

错误类型:定冠词使用不当。句中“an elderly”用法不正确。英文中“elderly”通常作复数或不可数形容词用来描述“老年人”,若表示一群人前应加定冠词“the elderly”;若作形容词修饰名词如“an elderly person”。因此建议改为“the elderly”或“an elderly person”。在此句语境中应为“the elderly”。

Incorrect use of pronouns

× And you, you can't. You can't throw the garbage anywhere. You you just throw them into the dustbin.

✓ You can't throw garbage anywhere. You should just throw it into the dustbin.

错误类型:代词与不可数名词、指代不一致。首先“garbage”通常为不可数名词,不用定冠词“the”或复数形式;其次代词“them”与“garbage”不匹配,应使用“it”。此外句子重复“you you”需删除。建议使用“throw garbage”或“throw it”。

Present tense issue

× I think being polite is very important in modern society. Uh, if you, if you are applied to others, you can leave good impressions to other people and other people will be more willing to, uh, chat with you or umm, talk with you so you can make more friends.

✓ I think being polite is very important in modern society. If you apply it to others, you can leave a good impression on people and they will be more willing to chat with you or talk with you, so you can make more friends.

错误类型:现在时用法及介词搭配错误。原句中“are applied to others”时态和被动结构不合适,应使用主动“apply it to others”。“leave good impressions to other people”搭配错误,正确为“leave a good impression on someone”。此外“other people will be more willing to, chat with you or umm, talk with you”可合并为“they will be more willing to chat with you”。建议学习常用动词搭配(collocations)。

Third person singular issue

× if you are talking to your teacher, you must be polite because he or she is older than you.

✓ If you are talking to your teacher, you must be polite because he or she is older than you.

该句语法正确,无需修改。注意:第三人称单数动词形式在此句中已正确使用(must 不变形)。此处给出确认说明。

Verb form / Subject-verb agreement

× Umm, when I was a child, if someone came to me and want to and wanted to play with me, I will share my toys with him or her.

✓ When I was a child, if someone came to me and wanted to play with me, I would share my toys with him or her.

错误类型:时态和主谓一致问题。句子包含过去时间状语“when I was a child”,因此条件句应使用与过去相配的时态,主句中的“will”不合适,应该用过去将来或习惯性过去“would”。另外有重复短语“want to and wanted to”应删去多余部分。建议保持时间一致性(同一时间背景下使用相对应的时态)。

Incorrect use of articles

× I think that's a politeness.

✓ I think that's polite.

错误类型:冠词使用不当。名词“politeness”可以使用但在口语中更自然用形容词“polite”来表示“那很礼貌”。“a politeness”不常用,显得生硬。建议用“that's polite”或“that's a polite gesture”。

Incorrect verb form / Sentence structure errors

× And also I will umm, I will wait until my mom and dad sitting on the table to eat.

✓ Also I would wait until my mom and dad were sitting at the table to eat.

错误类型:动词形式与句子结构错误。原句中“wait until my mom and dad sitting”缺少过去式助动结构,应为“were sitting”以表示过去进行时的背景;此外“on the table”介词错误,吃饭时应说“at the table”。由于是在描述过去习惯,主句动词应使用“would”或“used to”。建议把时间和时态统一为过去描述(when I was a child → would/used to + 动词)。
