初中英语常见错误之E系列　　each 　　[误] Every of them has his habit.
　　[正] Each of them has his habit.
　　[析] each可以作形容词，但也可作代词，而every只能作形容词。
　　[误] The manager comes to America almost each month.
　　[正] The manager comes to America almost every month.
　　[析] each与every都作形容词讲时，都有每个之意，但有不同。
each多指个体，而every则多指整体。
如：We want every student to succeed.
each不同来表达总体概念，所以不能与almost, nearly， likely等词连用。
　　[误] We each has a book.
　　[正] We each have a book.
　　[析] each 作同位语时，其数应与其同位的名词相同，而each作主语时则应取其单数形式。
　　each other one another 　　each other与one another这两个词组的区别在很多语法书中强调each other是两者之间，而one another是多者之间，其实不然，如：All students must care for each other, must love and help each other.
事实上这两个词组是同义的，如果要讲有什么区别的话，当我们非常笼统地谈，而不特指什么人时，多用one another.
　　early 　　[误] Could you come here more early 　　[正] Could you come here earlier 　　[析] 单音节和少数双音节副词的比较遥和较高遥要用er和est来作其结尾，如fast, soon, early, hard, long, near等。
　　earth 　　[误] What on the earth do you mean 　　[正] What on earth do you mean 　　[析] on earth这一词组在句中为的是加强语气，其意为究竟、到底。
而作为地球讲时则要加定冠词，如：How far is the earth from the moon.
而作为泥土讲时则为遥数名词，如：He filled the pot with earth and wanted to plant some flowers.
　　easy 　　[误] You can easy imagine my surprise.
　　[正] You can easily imagine my surprise.
　　[析] easy只在有限的词组中被用作副词，如take it easy (不要紧张)，go easy, stand easy等。
例如：Easy come, easy go.
(遥来的容易花的也快.
)Easier said than done.
(说的容易做着难。
) 　　east 　　[误] Japan is on the east of China.
　　[正] Japan is to the east of China.
　　[析] 在讲述地理位置时，有3个介词常用，它们是in, on和to, 其中in表示处于所表达的范围之内，如：Shanghai is in the east of China.
on则表示双方接壤，如：North Korea is on the northeast of China.
而表示互不相接的两部分时则用to, 如：Taiwan is to the east of Fujian.
　　either 　　[误] -I dont like opera.
　　-I dont like too.
　　[正] -I dont like opera.
　　-I dont like either.
　　[析] 在否定句中用either表示也，而在肯定句中用too表示也。
　　[误] Either you or I are right.
　　[正] Either you or I am right.
　　[析] 这在语法书中被称作就近原则，即哪个主语离谓语动词近，则应采用与哪个主语相遥的谓语动词，相同用法的还有neithernor，not onlybut also，以及or在连接两个主语时。
如：You or he is to go home.
The others will have to stay in the classroom.
　　elder 　　[误] My older brother has gone to Shanghai.
　　[正] My elder brother has gone to Shanghai.
　　[析] 在表示兄姐的长幼时应用elder表示哥哥姐姐，如：my elder sister 姐姐，但表示岁数时则多用older，如：She is two years older than I.
　　empty 　　[误] Are these seats empty 　　[正] Are these seats taken 　　[析] empty是指空洞的没有任何物体，如：The house was empty, 其意思是没有任何家具或屋内无人。
但座位是否有人坐应用take.
　　English 　　[误] My sister studied English language very well.
　　[正] My sister studied the English language very well.
　　[正] My sister studied English very well.
　　[析] 在泛指某一种学科时，不应加冠词，如：I like history.
但如特指某一门学科时则应加冠词，如：He likes the history of America.
　　enjoy 　　[误] I enjoy to play football.
　　[正] I enjoy playing football.
　　[析] enjoy后要接动名词，而不接不定式。
　　[误] Did you enjoy at the English evening 　　[正] Did you enjoy yourself at the English evening 　　enough 　　[误] Im sorry.
You are not studying enough carefully.
　　[正] Im sorry.
You are not studying carefully enough.
　　[析] enough要用在形容词或副词之后。
　　[误] Do you have enough of money 　　[正] Do you have enough money 　　[正] Do you have enough of the money 　　[误] The coffee isnt enough.
　　[正] There isnt enough coffee.
　　[析] enough可以作be动词的表语，但其主语应是代词，如：Thats enough.
It was enough.
如果是名词时应换用上面的句型。
　　entrance 　　[误] The entrance of the cinema is on your right.
　　[正] The entrance to the cinema is on your right.
　　[析] 在表示通往某处时entrance后面多用to作介词。
这样的用法还有key to the door, answer to the question等。
　　evening 　　[误] I walked home in a cold evening.
　　[正] I walked home on a cold evening.
　　[析] in the evening这一词组如加上另外的修饰词则其介词应换为on.
　　everyone 　　[误] Everyone of you goes to class.
　　[正] Every one of you goes to class.
　　[析] everyone其后不能接of结构。
在否定句中如果要讲每一个人都没有注意到它，就译作：Nobody noticed it.
要注意Every one of us is not right.
应译为我们不都对。
而None of us are right.
才应译为我们全错了。
　　exam 　　[误] We take part in an exam.
　　[正] We take an exam.
　　[析] take part in为参加某种活动，运动，而在学科中选择某一学科学习并进行考试应用take.
　　except 　　[误] The room is clean except two desks.
　　[正] The room is clean except for two desks.
　　[误] I come here every day except for Sunday.
　　[正] I come here every day except Sunday.
　　[析] 在同一类物体中排除某一部分用except, 在不同类物体中排除某一物体时用except for。
而except that其后接从句，如：She is a good girl except that she is careless sometimes.
而besides则是包括在内，如我学习英语同时还学法语。
应译为：I study English besides French.
　　exercise 　　[误] The students exercise spoken English in the morning.
　　[正] The students practise spoken English in the morning.
　　[析] exercise多指运动、训练，而practise则多指把理论付诸于实践的练习。
　　[误] Everyone should do exercises every day.
　　[正] Everyone should do exercise every day.
　　[析] 作为运动讲exercise是遥数名词，而当练习、体操、早操则是可数名词，例如：I do a lot exercises in the P.
E.
class.
