Common Mistakes#1 常见的错误#1
“Chatted”
首先这个词 “chatted” 是正确的,
可是在日常交流中很多本地人不会用(其实我从来没有听到有人说过这个话... 有可能吧),比如: “i chatted with my mum”,我们会说 “i spoke with my mum” 或 “I had a chat with my mum”,当你听到很多本地人用英语说话的时候,会发现这个词不经常用的,因此我推荐一下你们小心翼翼地看到语境,培养合适的语感,总之我建议一下你们用别的话:spoke with, had a chat with, talked to, 等等。 “I play my phone” ✘
必须加上 “on”,在这儿“on” 是个介词,用来表示一个器件或机器(比如:手机,电脑等), 像 “use” 一样相似的意义,要看语境,也能说 “use”。
My favourite movie will be on tonight. (不能用 “use”)✔
今晚我最爱的电影会上映。
She has been on the computer all morning. (能用 “use”)✔
她整个早上用电脑了。
She has been using the computer all morning. ✔
A: What are you doing?
A: 你在做什么?
B: I'm just on my phone, and you? ✔
B: 我只是在玩儿手机,你呢?
那我什么时候能说“play”呢?“play” 表示为了娱乐或享受你参加一个活动,因此我们能说 “I'm playing music”(音乐是个活动),可是不能说 “I'm playing phone” (手机不是个活动),应该是说 “I'm playing on my phone”。
She is playing games on her phone. ✔
她在玩儿手机游戏。
She plays basketball. ✔
她经常打篮球。
She plays with her friends. ✔
她跟她的朋友一起在玩儿。
