幾乎所有的英語學習者——包括一些以英語為母語的人——都會時不時地犯一些錯誤。這些錯誤大部分是可以很容易避免的。希望這篇文章能幫助你發現這些錯誤，並在寫作中避免這些錯誤。
1. 不定冠詞/定冠詞的用法(the, a, an)
知道何時使用定冠詞或不定冠詞是很困難的。以下是使用定冠詞和不定冠詞時需要記住的一些重要規則。
不定冠詞在句子中首次出現時使用(a, an)。
在作者和讀者都不知道的事情上使用不定冠詞。
與前兩個詞相關:用定冠詞來指代已經提到過的東西。
相反，當提到作者和讀者都知道的物件時，使用定冠詞(the)。
當可數名詞用複數或不可數名詞用單數時，不要使用定冠詞或不定冠詞(換句話說就是nothing)。
下面是這些錯誤的五個例子，按順序，針對上面列出的每種型別。
I live in the apartment, close to the supermarket.
I'd like to go to the good restaurant.
I stayed in the hotel near the park. The hotel was very nice, and a park had some wonderful paths.
Remember a presentation we went to last week?
The apples are generally very tasty in season.
以下是修改後的句子:
I live in an apartment, close to a supermarket. (注意，我知道公寓和超市，而你作為聽眾/讀者卻不知道。)
I'd like to go to a good restaurant.
I stayed in a hotel near a park. The hotel was very nice, and the park had some wonderful paths.
Remember the presentation we went to last week?
Apples are generally very tasty in season.
2.“I”和國家的形容詞/名詞/語言名稱以及新句子的第一個詞都要大寫
英語中的大寫規則令人困惑。然而，最常見的大寫錯誤是國家形容詞、名詞和語言名稱。記住這些規則可以幫助你避免這種大寫錯誤。
I首字母大寫
將國家、國家名詞和形容詞大寫——法語、俄語、英語、義大利、加拿大等。
在一個新句子或問題中，第一個單詞的第一個字母要大寫
一般名詞不要大寫，只有當它們是某物的名稱時才大寫
人、機構、節日等的專有名稱要大寫。
下面是一個適用於最後兩點的例子。
I go to university. (普通名詞-> university)
BUT
I go to the University of Texas. (專有名詞)
下面是五個例子，按順序，針對上面列出的每一種錯誤。
Jack comes from Ireland, but i come from the US.
I don't speak chinese, but I speak a little french.
where do you come from?
He bought a new Bicycle for his birthday.
Let's visit maria this afternoon.
下面是修改後的句子：
Jack comes from Ireland, but I come from the US.
I don't speak Chinese, but I speak a little French.
Where do you come from?
He bought a new bicycle for his birthday.
Let's visit Maria this afternoon.
3.俚語和簡訊語言
許多英語學習者，尤其是年輕的英語學習者喜歡在網上使用俚語和簡訊語言。這背後的想法很好:學習者想表現出他們理解並能使用習慣用語。然而，使用這種習慣用語會導致許多錯誤。解決這個問題最簡單的方法就是不要在部落格帖子、評論或其他線上書面交流中使用簡訊或俚語。如果你在發簡訊，發簡訊沒問題，否則就不應該使用。任何較長的書面交流都不應該使用俚語。俚語只用於口語，不用於書面交流。
4. 標點符號的使用
英語學習者在使用標點符號時有時會遇到問題。我經常收到電子郵件，看到帖子裡的標點符號前後都沒有空格。規則很簡單:將標點符號(.，:;!?)緊接在單詞的最後一個字母后，再加上一個空格。
下面是一些例子:
They visited Paris,London,Berlin and New York.
I'd like to have some pasta , and a steak
犯了小錯誤，改正簡單!.
They visited Paris, London, Berlin and New York.
I'd like to have some pasta, and a steak.
5. 英語常見錯誤
實際上不止一個錯誤。然而，英語中有一些常見的錯誤。下面是英語寫作中最常見的三個錯誤。
It's或Its - It's = It is / Its =所有格形式。記住，當你看到撇號(')時，會少一個動詞!
Then or Than——Than用於比較級(It's bigger Than my house!)'Then'是用來表達時間的(First you do this. Then you do that)
Good或Well - Good是形容詞形式(That's a good story!)Well是副詞形式(He plays tennis well.)。
下面有6個例子，每兩個是按順序排列的，針對上面列出的每一種錯誤。
He attributed his success to it's appeal to children.
I think its time to discuss this question in more detail.
The government decided it would cost more money to change policy then to leave current law stand.
She can first finish her homework, than go to practice.
How good do you speak German?
I think he's well public speaker.
以下是修改後的句子:

The government decided it would cost more money to change policy than to leave current law stand.
