在写英语论文时，尤其是对于非英语母语的中国学生来说，英语语法错误是不可避免的。然而，通过不断练习和注意常见的语法问题，我们可以有效地减少这些错误，提高写作水平。本文将分析中国学生常见的几种英语语法错误，并提供相应的修改建议，帮助学生们提升英语写作能力。

 一、时态与语态错误

时态和语态是英语语法中的两个重要组成部分。时态用于表达动作发生的时间，语态则用来描述主语与动词之间的关系。很多学生在写作时会忽视时态和语态的变化，导致句子不够准确。

时态错误的例子：

1. 错误：Some people welcomed the progress and look forward to in a variety of fields for the benefit of mankind.

   修改：Some people welcome the progress and look forward to further development in a variety of fields for the benefit of mankind.

   解析：句中的“welcomed”和“look forward to”时态不一致。保持时态一致性，动词应该使用现在时。

2. 错误：The news has been sparked a heated debate and spread throughout the world quickly.

   修改：The news sparked a heated debate and spread throughout the world quickly.

   解析：由于“news”是单数，且“has been sparked”使用了被动语态且不合适，应该改为主动语态，并使用过去时态。

语态错误的例子：

1. 错误：The book was read by me every night.

   修改：I read the book every night.

   解析：主动语态更符合表达的需求，避免不必要的被动语态。

 二、句子成分错误

句子成分错误包括成分缺失、冗余及其他不规范的用法。对于学生来说，构造完整的句子至关重要。

成分缺失的例子：

1. 错误：As with every newly-emerging thing, there are optimistic and pessimistic towards it.

   修改：As with every newly-emerging thing, there are optimistic and pessimistic sentiments towards it.

   解析：“sentiments”一词缺失，导致句子结构不完整，句意不清。

成分冗余的例子：

1. 错误：I am stunned to learn that it is serves as a sharp double-edged sword towards us human.

   修改：I am stunned to learn that it serves as a sharp double-edged sword for us humans.

   解析：“is”重复使用，且“towards us human”表达不准确，应改为“for us humans”。

 三、主谓一致与单复数一致错误

在英语中，主谓一致和单复数一致是基本的语法规则，很多学生容易忽略这一点。

主谓不一致的例子：

1. 错误：When one have money, he can do what he want to.

   修改：When one has money, he can do what he wants to do.

   解析：当主语是单数“one”时，谓语动词应该使用“has”和“wants”，而非“have”和“want”。

单复数不一致的例子：

1. 错误：Different groups hold different view.

   修改：Different groups hold different views.

   解析：“view”应使用复数形式“views”，因为前面有“different groups”。

代词不一致的例子：

1. 错误：Each cigarette a person smokes does some harm, and eventually, they may get a series of diseases.

   修改：Each cigarette a person smokes does some harm, and eventually, he may get a series of diseases.

   解析：代词“they”指代的是单数的“a person”，应改为单数代词“he”。

 四、句子不完整错误

英语写作中，句子应该是完整的，包含主语和谓语。有些学生习惯性地在句子中使用从属连词时，导致句子片段。

句子片段的例子：

1. 错误：I need to have better time management. Because I’m currently practicing for a dance performance, working as an intern, and preparing for a presentation at the same time.

   修改：I need to have better time management because I’m currently practicing for a dance performance, working as an intern, and preparing for a presentation at the same time.

   解析：“Because”不能独立使用，它应该连接两个句子。

 五、悬垂修饰语

悬垂修饰语是指修饰语所修饰的主语不清，导致句子结构混乱。

悬垂修饰语的例子：

1. 错误：At the age of ten, my grandfather died.

   修改：When I was ten, my grandfather died.

   解析：原句中的“at the age of ten”使得读者误以为是“my grandfather”十岁时去世，实际应是“我”十岁时。

2. 错误：Having looked through the bookshop, the book I wanted just wasn’t there.

   修改：I looked through the bookshop. The book I wanted just wasn’t there.

   解析：原句中，“Having looked through the bookshop”并未明确指出主语，导致句意不清。

 六、指代不清错误

代词应该清晰地指代某个具体的人或事物，避免引起歧义。

指代不清的例子：

1. 错误：Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.

   修改：Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.

   解析：代词“she”和“her”的指代不清，修改后更加明确。

 七、连贯性问题

英语写作中，句子和段落之间需要保持连贯性，确保思路清晰，避免跳跃式的表达。

连贯性差的例子：

1. 错误：Freshwater, it is the most important things of the earth.

   修改：Freshwater is the most important thing on Earth.

   解析：“Freshwater”和“It”的搭配不合理，且“things”应使用单数形式“thing”。

 八、冗余问题

冗余是指不必要的重复，使句子变得冗长且含糊不清。

冗余的例子：

1. 错误：At this point in time, I am not able to attend the meeting.

   修改：Currently, I am not able to attend the meeting.

   解析：“At this point in time”可以简化为“currently”，使句子更加简洁。

冗长句子的例子：

1. 错误：For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.

   修改：Diligent, caring people use money only to buy what they need.

   解析：原句中重复使用了“thing”，并且过于冗长，简化后更加清晰明了。

 九、不连贯的句子

句子之间缺乏逻辑联系，使得文章的整体结构不连贯，影响阅读体验。

不连贯的句子例子：

1. 错误：Freshwater, it is the most important things of the earth.

   修改：Freshwater is the most important thing on Earth.

   解析：原句中的“it”与前面的“Freshwater”不连贯，修改后句子更加流畅。

英语写作中常见的语法错误主要来源于学生对语法规则的不了解或粗心大意。掌握时态、语态的正确使用，避免句子成分不全或冗余，确保代词指代清晰，增强句子和段落的连贯性，都是提高写作质量的关键。通过不断练习，细心修改，可以大大减少这些常见的错误，从而提升英语写作的水平，获得更好的成绩。
