9．那个男孩有那么多奇怪的问题。

误：The boy had such many strange questions.

正：The boy had so many strange questions.

析：表示"这样（那样）多"，可用so many（用于复数可数名词）或so much（用不可数名词）。它们是固定搭配，so 不能用such代替。

8．她没乘车去，而是步行的。

误：She went there on foot instead by bus.

正：She went there on foot instead of by bus.

正：She didn't go there by bus. She went there on foot instead.

析：instead"代替"，表示前面的事情没有做，而是做了后面的事，一般位于句首或句尾，但不能位于句中，且不能接并列成分。instead所在的那个句子一般是肯定形式，前面的那个句子一般是否定形式。而instead of具有否定意义，后可接一个并列成分。

7．我对科学感兴趣。

误：I'm interesting in science.

正：I'm interested in science.

析：interesting "令人感兴趣的"，可用作标语，其主语是物，也可以用作定语，修饰人或物。interested"感兴趣的"，常用于be(become) interested的结构，主语是人。

6．我看见他们正在踢足球。

误：I saw them play football.

正：I saw them playing football.

析：在see、hear、watch等动词后，既可接不带to 的动词不定式，又可带现在分词作宾语补足语，但它们所表示的意义不同。用不定式时说明动作发生了，即动作的全部过程结束了。用现在分词表示动作正在发生，即处于发生的过程中，还没有结束。

5．全家人打算在那儿呆两个月。

误：The whole family are going there for two months.

正：The whole family is going there for two months.

析：在这里family指整个家庭，所以动词用单数形式。试比较：My family are very well. 我全家都很健康。（这里指家庭成员，动词用复数）

4．两个月太长了。

误：Two months are quite a long time.

正：Two months is quite a long time.

析：表示重量、时间、长度、价值等的名词作主语，尽管是复数形式，但仍作为一个整体看待，动词一般用单数形式。如：

Ten dollars is enough. 十美元够了。

3．我对他的汉语有些担忧。

误：I'm worried for his Chinese.

正：I'm worried about his Chinese.

析："对……担忧"应用 be worried about 。

2．我想尽可能早点见到他。

误：I would like seeing him as soon as possible.

正：I would like to see him as soon as possible.

析：would like ='d like, 用来表示"想要、希望、愿意"，后跟动词不定式，不跟动名词。

1. 承蒙相助，不胜感激。

误：That's very kind to you to help me.

正：That's very kind of you to help me.

析：在得到对方帮助、善待时， 你要表示自己的感激之情，常用 That(It) is very kind of you (to do sth.)。而be kind to 意为"（某人）对（某人）好"。

4.The house stands ____ the corner.

A. from B. to C. in D. on (D)
