[誤] - How soon will you be ready?
- Two days
[正] - How soon will you be ready?
- In two days
[析] 此題關鍵是要根據情景，身臨其境，要注意的是對方問了什么，就應答什么�；虼鹆耸裁淳蛻獑柺裁�。 How soon 問的是"還有多久才能作完"，這時要用 in two days， 即在兩小時之內即可以作完。如用 How long 提問，則答語可以用 two days。
[誤] - Would you mind if I have some time off?
- I don't mind
- Monday and Tuesday of next week
[正] - Would you mind if I have some time off?
- When exactly
- Monday and Tuesday of next week
[析] 有的對話是復雜的，稍有不慎就有可能選錯，而且英語中如選錯了答案是不容易找出錯來的。 I don't mind 是可以用來回答 Would you mind…這一提問的，但如仔細看一看則會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們要選用的不是陳述句而是疑問句。根據下面一句的答語來判定要用 when exactly? 什么時間，這樣才能與下句中具體的時間相符合。
[誤] Suppose your name is Tom The phone rings and you pick it up The first word you say will probably be "Who are you?"
[正] Suppose your name is Tom The phone rings and you pick it up The first word you say will probably be "Hello? This is Tom speaking?"
[析] 在英語學習中，習慣用法實際上在某種情況，或某種意義上講比語法更為重要。如果只從句子的角度上去分析，它們可能都是對的。比如，當你拿起電話時，如果你想知道對方是誰，可以問"Who's that(speaking)?"但不要講"Who are you?"如果你想先介紹一下自己可以講"This is ×××× speaking"而不要講"I'm ××××"也不要講"My name is ×××××." 就語法而論，"Who are you?" "I'm ××××""My name is ×××××"并不錯，也是英語中可用的句子，但就打電話這一場合，就不宜用了。
[誤] - Do you think it's going to rain over the weekend?
- I don't hope so
[正] - Do you think it's going to rain over the weekend?
- I hope not
[析] 由于初學者對實際英語口語中表達感情意愿的答語不熟悉，如在肯定答語中 I think so I hope so I believe so 是相同的，但在否定句中卻常用 I don't think so 但I don't believe so 和 I don't hope so 則意為：我不信此事和我不希望此事發(fā)生。而 I believe not 和 I hope not 則為：我想可能不會發(fā)生吧!
[誤] - Is anybody there?
- No， Bob and Tom have asked for leave
[正] - Is everybody there?
- No， Bob and Tom have asked for leave
[析] 許多學生在寫作和選擇答語或問句時總要語法在前，而不是習慣用語在先。所以總是要拘泥疑問句中的不定代詞，用 anybody。 但是Is anybody there? 在英語中為：這里有人嗎?而Is everybody there?為：全都到齊了嗎?所以首先要考慮的是其答語。 No， Bob and Tom have asked for leave
