  四、容易混淆的介词:
[考试说明] 熟练掌握介词in、on、at、to、from、by、with、for、about、before的常见用法;理解这11个介词的其他用法及所学其他介词的一般用法。

1. above & over; below & under

[误] Our classroom is over theirs.

[正] Our classroom is above theirs.

[误] The plane flew above the bridge.

[正] The plane flew over the bridge.

[误] The lights hung above the desk.

[正] The lights hung over the desk.

above、over都表示“在…上面”,且都表示表面不接触的上方,但over指垂直在上,而above则表示位置较高,不一定是正上方。

below、under都表示“在…下面”,below指位置低于某物或在某物的下方,但不一定在某物的正下方,其反义词是above,而under指在某物的正下方,有垂直在下的意思,其反义词是over。

2. by & on & over & through

[误] They’re talking on the radio.

[正] They’re talking by radio.

“通过无线电交谈”习惯上说talk by radio,名词前不加冠词。

“通过收音机听到”习惯上说hear sth. on/over/through the radio,名词前加冠词。

“通过电视看到”习惯上说watch sth. on TV。

“通过电话交谈”习惯上说talk with sb. on/over the telephone。

“通过人造卫星收发电视节目”习惯上说through man-made satellites。

3. in & on & to

[误] Tian wan is to the east of China.

[误] Tian wan is on the east of China.

[正] Tian wan is in the east of China.

表示方位“在……(东西南北)边)时,介词in、on、to有不同的用法。以“在……东部”为例,表示在该地范围之内,用in the east of,表示在该地与某地“相邻”,有接壤之意,用on the east of,表示不在该地范围,且有中间物,用to the east of。

4. in the end & at the end of & by the end of & at last

都有“最后”的意思,但in the end表示“结果,末了”,与at last是同义词组,at the end of表示“在……末端,尽头”,后面要接名词短语,by the end of表示“在……结束时,末了为止”,后面接时间短语。

5. to & for & toward(s)

[误] He is leaving to HongKong next month.

[正] He is leaving for HongKong next month.

to,toward(s)作静态介词,表示静态位置时,均表示“朝……”或“向……”,一般两者可通用,towards指时间“将近”,意思是nearly;to则表示一段时间的终点,“差……到”的意思;for常用在leave、start等后面,表示要去的目的地,不可用to。
五、容易混淆的连词:
[考试说明] 掌握并列连词(如:and、but、or)和从属连词(如:when、if、that等)的基本用法。

1. because & since & as & for

[误] Because he was ill, so he didn’t go to school today.

[正] Because he was ill, he didn’t go to school today.

[正] He didn’t go to school today because he was ill.

because通常表示说话人认为这种理由或原因是正式的理由。在含because的句子中,全句强调的重点在原因上,不在主句的结果上。因此,回答why提出的问题时,只能用because,不能用since、as或for。because of后面只能跟短语,不能跟从句。

since表示的原因,指人们已知的事实,常译为“既然”,引导的从句只是一种附带的说明原因,不是对原因的强调。because与since不能与so连用。

as表示原因与since差别不大,只是语气更弱,是显而易见的理由。

for表示因果关系时,可与because替换使用,所不同的只是它只能放在主句之后,不能放在句首。在含for的句子里,for从句有时只是对主句补充说明理由或推断原因,与前一分句不存在因果关系。

2.either…or… & neither…nor… & not only…but also… & both…and…

[误] Either he or I are right.

[正] Either he or I am right.

前三个连词连接名词、代词等作主语时,谓语动词要与离其最近的主语的单复数一致,both…and…的谓语动词则要用复数。

六、容易混淆的代词:

[考试说明] 熟练掌握人称代词主格、宾格形式及基本用法,在口语和书面语的表达中正确运用;掌握形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词的基本用法;掌握反身代词作为宾语和同位语的基本用法;熟练掌握指示代词和疑问代词的基本用法。

1. either & each & none & neither & both & all & some

[误] Either of the books are good.

[正] Either of the books is good.

either/ each / none / neither of+复数名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词用单数, 其中neither的也可用复数;both/ all /some of+复数名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词用复数。
