　　[析] in the way 为挡道，而on the way为在路上，如： on my way home (在回家路上)，on his way to the station(在他去火车站的路上)。

?
　　[析] 在when引导的状语从句中，要用一般时表示将来，即主句中是将来时，从句中应用一般遥时，如主句中是过去将来时，从句中应用一般过去时。
如： Ill be back when you come back from school.
?
　　[误] When in the second grade, his mother bought him a bike.
?
　　[正] When Tom was in the second grade, his mother bought him a bike.

?
　　[误] Well go to the park when it doesnt rain tomorrow.
?
　　[正] Well go to the park if it doesnt rain tomorrow.
?
　　[析] if用来表示不能肯定的事如果发生会如何;而when用来表示肯定会发生或很可能会发生的事情，如： Ill see you in September when I come back.
?
[误] I dont know when he comes home tomorrow.
?
　　[正] I dont know when he will come home tomorrow.
?
　　[析] when所引出的宾语从句如果是表示将来的动作要用将来时，而不是像时间状语从句中用一般时表示将来。

?
　　[正] I dont know where to go.
?
　　[析] where是疑问副词。
?
　　whether ?
　　[误] It is unknown if he will come.
?
　　[正] It is unknown whether he will come.
?
　　[析] if不能引导主语从句。
上句中it是形式主语，其后的从句才是真正的主语从句。
要注意以下各种情况不宜用if而要用whether: ?
　　① I didnt know whether youll go or not.
(因句中有or not选项。
)?
　　② He didnt know whether to visit the old man.
(因用于不定式前。
)?
　　③ Im interested in whether hell go.
(因作介词的宾语从句。
)?
　　④ I want to know the news whether our team will win.
(同位语从句。
)?
　　⑤ Let me know whether you can come.
(此句如用if则含意有所不同，其意就变为如果你能来请通知我。
而用whether则意为让我知道你是否能来。
)?
　　who ?
　　[误] Whom do you think would like to come for a game of football?
?
　　[正] Who do you think would like to come for a game of football?
?
　　[析] 在这个句式中do you think应看作插入语，所以原句应为Who would like to come for a game of football?
?
　　[误] From who was the gift?
?
　　[正] From whom was the gift?
?
　　[正] Who was that gift from?
?
　　[析] 在句首时现代英语常用who取代whom，而在紧跟介词时则不能用who来取代whom.
?
　　why ?
　　[误] Why not to go to the park?
?
　　[正] Why not go to the park?
?
　　[析] why not后面接不带to的不定式，也可以用why dont you go with her?
?
　　win ?
　　[误] We have won your class.
?
　　[正] We have beaten your class.
?
　　[析] win 是及物动词，其后的宾语应是遥、战争、遥、奖金，如： Which team won the football match?
而beat是指打败对手、敌人，如： My brother beat me at poker.
(请注意，beat是不规则动词，其过去式与原形相同，而过去分词为beaten.
)?
　　wish ?
　　[误] I hope you to be a good student.
?
　　[正] I wish you to be a good student.
?
　　[析] hope不能加宾语再加宾语补足语，而wish则可以，如： I wish you luck.
(我祝你走运。
)?
　　without ?
　　[误] I cant do this work well without you help me.
?
　　[正] I cant do this work well without your help.

?
　　work ?
　　[误] This girl is looking for a work at the bank.
?
　　[正] This girl is looking for a job at the bank.
?
　　[析] 找工作一般应为to find a job，而works作为工作讲为遥数名词，不能加不定冠词，也遥用复数。
当work作为作品、著作讲时，为可数名词，如： This painting is one of his great works.
而works作为工厂讲时单复数形式相同，如：an iron works或two iron works.
作主语时其谓语动词可用单数，如： The steel works is closed for the holidays.
?
　　write ?
　　[误] You may write with ink.
?
　　[正] You may write in ink.
?
　　[正] You may write with a pen.
?
　　[析] 用写这一表达法要看用的是什么： 如果用钢笔则应用with, 如： Please fill in this form with a pen.
但讲用墨水时则要用in.
、?
　　Y?
　　yesterday ?
　　[误] I came across my old friend yesterday night.
?
　　[正] I came across my old friend last night.
?
　　[析] 昨晚应译为last night.
