怎样写好英语句子（二）
一、 ＂There be＂结构
考生病句：
1. There are many people like to go to the movies. There
are different kinds of vegetables can be bought on the market
by people.
正确表达：
1. There are many people who like to go to the movies. There
are different kinds of vegetables that people can buy on the
market.
这两个例句的错误比较有普遍性，因为在历次考试中有不少考生
不能正确运用there be这一最常 用的句式。在这种结构中，there
是引导词，没有实际意义。be在句中作谓语，有时态和数的变化 。
例如：
1. There was no school in the village at that time. (=there
was not a school...)
注意：在否定句中，否定词用no，也可用not a或not any。not
a后接单数名词，not a 后接复数名词，no后面的名词单复数都可以。
There is not a moment to be lost. There are many people rushing
into the cities every year. There are many things we can do to
prevent traffic accidents. There is no use holding back the

1
wheel of history.
从以上例句还可看出，句中的主语后面可接多种修饰语，如介词
短语、不定式短语、定语从 句、分词短语等等。这无疑使该结构增加
了表现力，使句子表达内容更加丰富。 在运用这一结构时，考生最
容易犯的错误是在there be之后又用了一个动词作谓语，使句子结< br>构出现严重错误。这里列举的考生的典型错误均属这种情况，对此我
们在写作中要格外注意。 二、 比较结构
考生病句：
1. Comparing with the bike, the car runs much faster. The
climate in Walton is colder than other cities.
正确表达：
1. Compared with the bike, the car runs much faster. The
climate in Walton is colder than that of other cities.
评议与分析：许多考生在作文中用compare或than表示比较，
但相当多的表达有误。
在例1中，对两个事物进行比较的句式为Compared with A, B...,
只能用compare的过去分词，不能用现在分词，因为B是分词的逻辑
主语，只能被比较。在例2中 ，考生误将天气与城市进行比较，
而二者没有可比性，只有将后者改为其他城市的天气才符合逻辑，很显然，考生的错误是受了汉语表达习惯的影响。
比较结构是常用结构，正确地使用这一结构 可以使文章的句式增
加变化，有利于提高写作成绩。一般说来，考生若能恰当、正确地运

用这一结构，其写作成绩应在5分以上。
下面是比较结构的一些常用的表达方法。

1） In 1998 we produced as many cars as we did in the previous
five years.
2） We have accomplished as much in the past three years
as would have taken ten years
in the past.
2． 比较级
