四、非谓语动词使用错误 ) |1 [% I- J F- B
非谓语动词在六级综合改错里算是一个较为令人头疼的改错类型,它包括不定式、分词、动名词。六级改错中主要出现的是非谓语动词和主要谓语动词之间的混淆,具体分为以下两种情况:
0 P3 n0 H9 p% O% a4 N& G" z① 分词,主要是现在分词和过去分词的误用,如: a puzzled question → a puzzling question ; an exciting girl → an excited girl 等。
u) r6 W2 h3 K/ G& {② 动词非谓语形式做主语、宾语,有时需要 it 作形式主语或形式宾语。如: This is no good arguing with him.(This → it )

分析句子结构可知:the idea是主语;is realized是谓语部分;that引导同位语从句。从句中learn a foreign language是主语,而learn是动词形式,应改为动名词“learning”。9 L* @* { |$ q% }6 z, W% U

非谓语动词的使用错误虽然不外乎不定式、分词(包括现在分词和过去分词)以及动名词三种类型,然而使用起来往往容易混淆,而且也不易区分,所以得分率通常都较低。; F: ^% Y q [' Q! ?
