よくある誤り(基本)
文法
| 番号 | 項目 | まちがい → 直した例 | 理由 |
|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | be動詞と一般動詞の衝突 | Students is get money. / They are support local economy. → Students can get money. / They support the local economy. | 1つの節に be動詞と一般動詞の原形は並べられない(I am play tennis と言わないのと同じ)。 |
| G2 | have to の否定 | They have not to use money. → They do not have to spend money. | have to の否定は do not have to。 |
| G3 | 動詞をそのまま主語に | Watch more movies are very cheap. / Going the movie theater is sounds good. → Watching more movies is very cheap. / Going to the movie theater sounds good. | 主語は -ing(動名詞)にして単数で受ける。 |
| G4 | 裸の名詞・数の一致 | I have two question. / Bicycle is not need money. → I have two questions. / Riding a bicycle does not cost any money. | 数えられる名詞は a/an か複数形の s。数詞の後は複数形。 |
| G5 | 前置詞+動詞の原形 | by not pick up clothes / about maintain the machine → by not picking up clothes / about maintaining the machine | 前置詞の後の動詞は -ing。 |
| G6 | 三単現の s | This trend allow employees to save time. / Government get many tax. → This trend allows employees to save time. / The local government gets a lot of tax revenue. | |
| G7 | 前置詞+節 | I don't agree with schools are replacing textbooks. → I do not agree that schools are replacing textbooks. | 前置詞の直後に主語+動詞は置けない。that を使う。 |
| G8 | It is 形容詞 for A to do | It is easy for my house to watch movies. → It is easy for us to watch movies at home. | for A は to do をする人。 |
| G9 | 進行形の be動詞抜け | Some stores introducing self-checkout machines. → Some stores are introducing self-checkout machines. | |
| G10 | 他動詞の目的語抜け | Elderly people find it difficult to operate. / Playing instruments can refresh. → ... difficult to operate them. / Playing instruments is refreshing. | |
| G11 | 助動詞の重複 | I may be can teach how to play the song. → Maybe I can teach you how to play the song. | |
| G12 | 文の断片(主語・動詞が無い文) | For example, building new roads or fixing old ones. → For example, they can build new roads or fix old ones. | 重大なエラー。 |
語法
| 番号 | 項目 | まちがい → 直した例 | 理由 |
|---|---|---|---|
| W1 | 費用に expensive | pay expensive cost / delivery fee is expensive → the cost is high / the delivery fee is high | expensive は品物。cost, fee, price は high / low。 |
| W2 | お金の言い方 | use money on train / decrease to pay moneys → spend money on trains / save money | money は数えない。 |
| W3 | pick up と choose | pick up clothes in the morning → choose clothes in the morning | |
| W4 | ~から学ぶ | learn by famous musicians / learn with internet → learn from famous musicians / learn on the internet | |
| W5 | classical music | classic music → classical music | 音楽のジャンルは classical。classic は「名作の・定番の」。 |
| W6 | 影響の前置詞 | have big influence for local economy / give a good effect → have a big influence on the local economy / have a good effect on ... | |
| W7 | abroad は副詞 | information of abroad → information about foreign countries / about studying abroad | |
| W8 | early と fast | Bicycles are easy and early. → Bicycles are fast and convenient. | |
| W9 | go to home | go to home / go to anywhere → go home / go anywhere | home, there, anywhere は「~へ」をふくむ副詞なので to はいらない。 |
| W10 | 契約を止める | stop a credit card → cancel a credit card |
構成

|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | 文頭の Because / So / But / And | I like soccer. Because it is fun. / So, I agree. → This is because it is fun. / Therefore, I agree. | Because・So は文と文をつなぐ言葉なので、文の頭に1つだけ置くと不自然になる。 |
| S2 | Eメールで First, / Second, | First, what did you ... Second, ... → By the way, I have two questions. What ...? | |
| S3 | 要約での前置き文 | There are some good reasons. First, ... For example, ... → They help solve worker shortages and save time. However, ... | |
| S4 | 序論・結論のオウム返し | Therefore, I think that more people will stop using cash in the future.(序論と同じ文)→ For these reasons, I believe that the number of people who stop using cash will increase. | |
| S5 | 理由の後の「だから何?」が無い | 理由を1文で書きっぱなしにしない。結果・具体例を1文足す。 |
