　　考研英语写作一直以来都是广大考研考生在考研英语复习中的一大难点，考场上40分钟的写作，时间非常紧张，好多同学在写完之后就置之不理，导致出现一些基本的语法错误，因此影响整篇文章的质量而被扣分。在此，建议大家在写完之后至少要留出两三分钟的时间把文章通读一遍，进行必要的语法修改。今天，我们主要针对常见的考生易犯的英语语法错误，给大家进行写作方面的指导，希望大家都能在写作方便取得理想的成绩。

　　1.检查谓语动词的时态是否有错。

　　例 1：

　　a) We college students had enough time to take a parttime job, no matter how busy we were ...

　　b) We college students have enough time to take a parttime job, no matter how busy we are ...

　　命题作文一般都是议论文，而写议论文所采用的时态一般都是现在时态。只有在举例或提到过去的事时才会用到过去时态。

　　例 2：

　　a) Riding bicycles had more advantages than taking a bus.

　　b) Riding bicycles has more advantages than taking a bus.

　　考生中用过去时写作与他们教材课文体裁(大多为叙述文、说明文)和平时写作练习(大多写个人经历的故事)有关，也与他们过度概括有关，认为所有文章都用过去时。

　　例 3:

　　a) There are so many countries using English that it had been regarded as an international language.

　　b) There are so many countries using English that it has been regarded as an international language.

　　注意：在论述同一事情，即发生在同一时间里的事时，前后半句或相邻的几句在时态上要保持一致。

　　2.检查主语和谓语、名词和代词、以及人称是否保持一致。

　　例 4：

　　a) The eating habit of Chinese people have changed in the past decade.

　　b) The eating habit of Chinese people has changed in the past decade.

　　注意：不管主语和谓语隔开多远，主语当中还有修饰成分，谓语要和真正的主语在数上保持一致。

　　例 5：

　　a) Now fruits and vegetables can be seen everywhere when it is in season.

　　b) Now fruits and vegetables can be seen everywhere when they are in season.

　　例 6：

　　a) I feel proud to come to our university.

　　b) I feel proud to come to this university.

　　注意：our和主语 I不一致，或把 our改成 my，或改成 this。而这里用 this 较妥。

　　3. 检查修饰语是否放在正确的位置上。

　　例1：

　　a) Without television, people can't get information which comes from other parts of the world immediately.

　　b) Without television, people can't immediately get information which comes from other parts of the world.

　　分析：a) 句子中，immediately 显然放错了位置。是"得到迅速从各地传来的消息"，还是"迅速得到从各地传来的消息"?意思含糊不清。

　　例2：

　　a) At the age of six, my father began to give me English lessons.

　　b) When I was five years old, my father began to give me English lessons.

　　分析：a) 句子，At the age of six 放在这个位置上，变成了"我父亲六岁的时候"。改变说法，可以解决这个问题。

　　例 3:

　　a) To improve one's writing skill, regular practice is necessary.

　　b) To improve one's writing skill, one must make regular practice.

　　分析：不定式短语的逻辑主语决不是regular practice，为了把逻辑关系表达清楚，要么把不定式短语改成If one wants to improve his writing skill，要么把主句改成one must make regular practice.

　　4.表示相同的意思，检查是否使用了平行语法结构。

　　例 4：

　　a) With the computer, one can do shopping, banking and read at home.

　　b) With the computer, one can do shopping, banking and reading at home.

　　分析：can do shopping, banking and read at home, 用语法平行结构来衡量，用动词原形 read是不妥的，为了和 do shopping, do banking 保持结构上平行，接下来的一个内容要用do reading.

　　例 5：

　　a) Nowadays, people not only eat enough food, but also eat better.

　　b) Nowadays, people not only eat more, but also eat better.

　　用 not only...but also, both...and, whether...or, either...or, as well as, along with等能连接两个成分的连词，前后两个成分在结构上要保持一致。用 eat enough food, eat better不如用 eat more, eat better，都用副词。
