OG看了两遍，总结了24点自己很容易错的地方，与各位共享
1.Correspondingly 与corresponding:
Unaccompanied correspondingly is awkward and ambiguous. The adverb correspondingly is incorrectly and ambiguously used; using the adjective
corresponding to modify increases in sales makes the intended meaning clearer.
2.Although的用法
☆Although typically introduces a subordinate clause, which has a subject and a verb
☆用although,后面的句子就是从句，如果用but，就是并列
☆Although不仅引导句子，而且也是要连接句子
3.Expect的用法
Since expectations look to the future but are not yet realized, the relative clause explaining these expectations should be conditional, employing the auxiliary verb would.
4.Estimate的用法
The verb estimated should be followed by the infinitive to be, not the preposition at—unless the writer intends to indicate a location at which someone made the estimate
5.Dated to be is not idiomatic. Should be dated at xxx years old
6.the same to x (someone) as to y (a person).
7.Population 与 people并非重复使用，加上people是为了使得后面的which指代更清楚。
8.the rivalry between x and y
the rivals x and y
9.either … or …也是平行结构的标志
10.has the ability to is wordy；
the ability … of assessing is wordy and awkward
11.在判断平行时，容易搞混到底谁与either后面的词并列。方法，先用either or 排除，再看其他。
12.The referent of this is unclear.（说明this不可以指代前面的句子）
13.x is to y what a is to b.
14.Like and just as are an incorrect term for the comparison.
15.doubt 的否定形式只能用that
16.The correct idiom in the active voice is one attributes x (an effect) to y (a cause). In the passive voice, x (the effect) is attributed to y (the cause).
17.The second clause must have a subject and a verb; being is neither and must be replaced with they are.
18.Begin doing 一般有正在做的意思; Begin to do一般有正准备做的意思. 所以doing 就是开始做了to do开始要做,还没做
19.regain与again意思重复
20.三者并列最有一个要and，这个结构比平行更优先！
21.with cannot be followed by an independent clause.
22.Even though, although, and while introduce clauses that appear to be logically incompatible 引导的对比结构应该是对称的
23.Lay / lie : The verb lay is transitive, requiring a direct object. 同样的还有reduce
24.主动语态优于被动语态 |
