语法大扫除,高手们请帮忙

tayleerchen

今天总结了一大堆问题,请告诉我下列用法是否正确.万分感谢

1. to do A, instead of to do B

2. propose doing
propose to do

3. difference between "excepting" and "except"

4. 1) The reason of somthing is because....
2) The reason of somthing is that....
3) for the reason that....

5. A proved itself to be...

6. warrant doing something

7. differences among "second", "secondly" and "secondarily" as adverbs.

8. difference between "less" and "lesser"

9. Is "one registered" less idomatic than "one that is registered"?

10. paper of all kinds [is | are] ??
All kinds of paper [is | are] ??

11. good enough that...
good enough so that..

12. (OG 251) its numbers are greater than... (why use "numbers", rather than "number"?)

13. a) seem as if ...
b) she seems an old woman.

14 "Even as" = "Just as"?

15 "Not all their members meet..." = "All their members do not meet"?

16. requirement for something
require of somebody to do somthing
I think it is ok to say "require something of somebody to do somthing" (OG181)

17 "while once" = "because"?

18. too good for somebody to do something

19. as an instance

20. Can "Also" be put at the beginning of a sentence? OG 241 ("also the sun" in B)

21 call for something to do

22 invest into ...

23 A proves less popular than B. (I think there should be a "does" before or after B. Why is it omitted?)

24 Is is right to say "as though during the formation of the universe"? I know it is OK to say "although accouting 5% of the population".

4. 1) The reason of somthing is because....错
2) The reason of somthing is that....对
3) for the reason that....对，但是几乎不用，而是prefer because

9. Is "one registered" less idomatic than "one that is registered"? 前者我觉得简洁，更好
10. paper of all kinds is
All kinds of paper are
11. good enough that... 错
good enough so that..错
13. a) seem as if ... 后面加从句
b) she seems an old woman.省略了 to be，应该可以的
15 "Not all their members meet..." = "All their members do not meet"? 都是部分否定，等同
16. requirement for something 应该是of吧，我想
require of somebody to do somthing ，错，只能说 require sb to do sth or require of sb that
21 call for something to do 正确

Sorry it was a typo

2 propose to do

12没看懂
14语气不同
15 same
22 invest in

Why do you study in this way!!! It is better put them in the sentences and understand the meaning and structure of each sentence.

21 call for something to do 应该是call for sb to do sth
