English learner mistakes. So if you have watched my other video on five common English learner

常犯錯誤。所以你若看過我們另一部影片：英語學習者的五個常犯

mistakes, this is a follow up to give you five more. So let's not waste time and get

錯誤的話，這部影片就是接續那一部來教你另外五個。就不浪費時間，

right to it. Here we go with No. 1.

直接來看囉。我們來看第一個

So this first mistake is common because in many languages, when you discuss jobs or your

好，第一個常犯錯誤是由於在許多語言裡頭，當你談論工作或者你的

station in life, you don't use articles even if you come from a country where there are

生活中的角色時，你不會使用冠詞，即使你來自一個有在語言中使用冠詞

articles in the language. So for example, "I am student." "He is engineer." If I ask

的國家。舉例來說，「我是學生」「他是工程師」如果我問你

you, "What do you do", you need to use an article because "student" is countable; it's

「你是做什麼的」你需要在那個名詞前加上冠詞，因為「學生」是可數名詞

singular; and "engineer' is countable and it's singular. So you have to say, "I am a

這裡是單數型態，而「工程師」也是可數名詞且單數。所以你需要說「我是一個學生」

student." "He is an engineer." Now, let's move on to No. 2.

「他是一位工程師」好的，我們來看到第二個

Okay. Here, we have two sentences on the board. We have, "I am agree." "Are you agree?" So

好，這裡，我們有兩個句子在白板上。分別是：「我同意」「你同意嗎？」

in this situation, "agree" is a verb. We don't say, "I am agree." You can just say, "I agree."

在這種狀況下，「同意」是一個動詞。我們不會說 "I am agree" 你可以說："I agree" 就好

If it's negative, "I don't agree" or, "I disagree." And the question is not, "Are you agree?"

若是否定態，就是"I don't agree"或者 "I disagree" 而這個問句形式不是："Are you agree?"

It's, "Do you agree?" Now, if you are set on wanting to say "I am" and use "agree" in

而是："Do you agree?" 現在，你若想要同時使用"I am"和"agree"在一個

some way, you would have to say, "I am in agreement." This is very formal, but it is

句子中，你可以這樣說："I am in agreement" 這句話是很正式的用法，但這是

possible. Otherwise, just say, "I agree" or, "I disagree" and, "Do you agree?" Now, let's

符合文法的。否則你就要說："I agree"或"I disagree" 和"Do you agree?" 好，現在，我們來

move on to No. 3.

看到第三個

This next mistake is about the use of the past tense. For new English speakers, because

下一個常誤是關於過去式時態的使用。對新學習英語的人，因為

they can't form the past tense, sometimes they use the verb "to be" with the verb. So

他們不會使用過去時態，有時候他們會用動詞："to be"與另一個動詞連著使用。所以

I have heard, "I'm go downtown yesterday." Or, "He was see his cousin." If you are speaking

我有聽過："I'm go downtown yesterday." 或者"He was see his cousin." 你若要表達

in the past, make sure you simply use the past simple verb. In this situation, we don't

過去發生的事情，請確認你使用過去簡單式。在這個情況下，我們

say "I'm go". The past of "go" is "went". "I went downtown." We don't say "he was see".

不會說："I'm go" "go"的過去式是"went"。"I went downtown." 我們不會說："he was see"

The past of "see" is "saw". So this is about using the past simple form of the verb to

"see"過去式是"saw"。所以這是關於使用過去簡單式的形式來

speak about the past. Never say "I'm go", "I'm do", "I'm make". "I saw"; "I made"; "I

表達過去發生的事情。千萬別說："I'm go"或"I'm do"、"I'm make"而是"I saw"、"I made"

did"; "I played". Okay? Now, let's move on to No. 4.

"I did"、"I played" 可以嗎？現在，來看第四個

Now, this mistake is about using negatives. In many languages, whether they're European

現在這個常誤是關於否定態的使用。在許多語言中，不論他們是歐語系

or Latin, Spanish, I hear this mistake very frequently. So you might hear, "He no have money" or,

或拉丁語、西班牙語等，我都常常聽到使用否定詞發生的問題。你可能會聽到："He no have money"或

"They no like chocolate." So if you are making a sentence in the present simple, and you want

"They no like chocolate."所以你若想要造一個現在簡單式的句子，而你想要

to make it negative, you have to use "doesn't" and "don't". So not "he no have" but, "He

用否定態，你就可以用："doesn't"和"don't"。所以不是："he no have"而是，"He doesn't have."

doesn't have." Okay? Not "they no like chocolate" but, "They don't like chocolate." So make

明白嗎？不是"they no like chocolate"而是"They don't like chocolate." 所確定

sure you learn how to make negative sentences. "He doesn't"; "I don't"; "we don't"; "they

你學會如何造否定句。"He doesn't"、"I don't"、"we don't"、"they don't"

don't"; not "he no", "she no", "I no". All right? Now, let's move on to No. 5.

不是"he no"、"she no"、"I no"好嗎？現在，我們來看第五個

Finally, here we have a word choice error. And this is because maybe speakers translate

最後，我們有個選字上的錯誤要談。而這是因為也許學習英語的使用者是先從

from their own language, and many languages, you can use the verbs "meet" or "know" to

他們自己的語言翻譯過來，而在許多語言中，你可以使用動詞"meet"或者"know"來

talk about going to places and getting to know cities and towns, for example. So, "I

說明要去某個地方以及要了解城市和城鎮的環境等，舉例來說，

want to meet the city" or, "Yesterday, I knew downtown." Now, in English, we don't really

"I want to meet the city"或者"Yesterday, I knew downtown." 現在，在英語中，我們不真的

use the verbs "know" and "meet" to talk about getting to know a place. You can use the verbs

會使用像是"know"和"meet"這些動詞來談論你知道、了解某個地方。你可以使用動詞像是

"explore" or "get to know" or "visit". So you can say, you know, "I want to explore

"explore"或者"get to know"或者"visit"。所以你能說："I want to explore the city."

the city." I want to go around the city." "Yesterday, I knew downtown" -- "Yesterday,

"I want to go around the city." 不是說"Yesterday, I knew downtown"而是"Yesterday,

I traveled around downtown." And you can also use terms like "get to know" a place. You

I traveled around downtown."而你也可以使用像是"get to know"等詞彙來表達了解一個地方。你

can visit a place. You can explore a place. Okay? But you can't meet a park. You can meet

可以去參觀一個地方。你可以探索一個地方。明白嗎？但你不能遇見一座公園。你可以遇見

a person, but you can't meet a place.

一個人，但你不能遇見一個地方

Now, let's review all five of these mistakes one more time.

現在，我們再一次回顧今天所學到五個常犯錯誤

All right. So to review, No. 1, "I am a student." If you want to talk about your status in life.

好的，複習一下，第一個，"I am a student." 你若想表達你生活中的身分、角色。

Are you a student? An engineer? Are you a teacher? Etc. you need to use an article to

想是你是個學生嗎？一個工程師？你是一個老師嗎？等等的。你需要使用一個冠詞來

talk about jobs, professions, talk about your station in life.

談論工作、職位、專業等，來談論你生活中的身分地位

No. 2, "I agree, not "I am agree"." Do you agree?" Not "are you agree?"

第二，"I agree" 不是 "I am agree"，是"Do you agree?"不是"are you agree?"

No. 3, "I went downtown." "I saw my cousin." So remember, memorize those past tense verbs.

第三個，"I went downtown."、"I saw my cousin." 記得，要牢記動詞的過去式

Not "I was go" or "I am go". "I went"; "I saw"; "I did". All right?

不是"I was go"或"I am go"是"I went"和"I saw"、"I did" 都明白嗎？

No. 4, "He doesn't have money." Memorize your negatives, especially in the present simple

第四個，"He doesn't have money" 要牢記你否定詞，特別是要使用現在簡單式

and past simple. "I don't have"; "he doesn't have"; "we don't have"; "they didn't have"

和過去簡單式使用的形式。"I don't have"和"he doesn't have"、"we don't have"、"they didn't have"

-- in the past.

等過去時態

And finally, "I want to get to know the city." "I want to visit the city." "I want to explore

而最後是，"I want to get to know the city."、"I want to visit the city."、"I want to explore

the city. Walk around the city." Not, "I want to meet the city" or

the city." 我們去城市晃晃。而不是「我想要遇見城市」或者

"I want to know the city intimately."

「我想要親密地去知道這個城市」
