在雅思考试中,介词被误用的情况很多,和新航道小编一起来看看这些介词要如何用才正确吧!
普通介词的误用
介词的误用一般为固定搭配错误,如常把provide sb with sth用成provide sb sth; be satisfied with用成be satisfied for等等,虽然这样的错误看似无伤大雅,但在考官眼里就是影响顺畅阅读的,当然会影响最终成绩。解决的办法简单而古老:把常见的固定搭配牢记于心,问题自然就解决了。
“to”作为介词的误用
“to”最常见的用法是以动词不定式符号的形式出现的,所以同学们也已经习惯了“to do”的固定搭配。对于一些如walk to me, to the left等介词to表方向等常见用法一般也不会出现错误。但是对于与动词搭配的介词to就会经常犯错:
to介词误用举例:
More and more students have taken to dependon their parents to make decision for them.这里的‘take to’ means ‘to begin to do sth as a habit’其中‘to’为介词,所以后面只能接名词或相当于名词的词,如动名词。所以句中depend on 应改为“depending on”。
“take to”的另一个常用用法也需要牢记:He hasn’t taken to his new school. (这里‘take to’ means ‘to start liking sb orsth’)Prefer A to B中的“to”也是介词,会有prefer doing sth to doing sth/ prefer sthto sth else,另外,“prefer to do sth rather than do sth”中的“to”可是真正的不定式符号。
类似的常用用法请同学们牢记:
Be used to doing
Adapt to doing
Adjust to doing
prefer doing sth. to doing sth.
Be accustomed to doing
See to doing等等
