錯誤類型深入解析

句子殘缺與冗長句：英文句型結構的兩大陷阱

句子殘缺或叫句子碎片（sentence fragment），是指未形成完整句意的詞語組合。
例：Because I was tired.（錯）→ Because I was tired, I went to bed early.（正確）
冗長句則指句子中夾雜過多結構，導致句意不明。
例：The meeting… so it started late, and then…→ Because not everyone arrived on time, the meeting started late.

修飾語錯位與平行結構錯誤

修飾語錯位（Misplaced Modifier）易造成語意失焦。
例：After reading the letter, the decision was obvious.（錯）→ After reading the letter, I knew the decision was obvious.（正確）
修飾語應緊貼被修飾對象。
平行結構錯誤則源於串列動作或形容詞時結構不一致。
例：She likes dancing, to sing, and reading. → She likes dancing, singing, and reading.

錯誤結構	正確平行結構
to run, walking, and swim	to run, walk, and swim

代名詞用法、標點陷阱與撇號誤用

代名詞用法要避免不明確或格誤用，如：Between you and I, this is a secret. → Between you and me, this is a secret.
漏用逗點與多餘逗點皆會破壞意思，如：The term, “science”, is new.（錯）→ The term “science” is new.（正確）
逗點連結句（Comma Splice）即逗點錯接完整句。

錯誤句	正確修正文
I went to the store, I bought milk.	I went to the store. I bought milk.

撇號只作所有格或縮寫，不作複數。例：She loves cat’s.（錯）→ She loves cats.（正確）
