常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子The fan birr softly beside the window.正确表达The fan birrs softly beside the window.
主语 the fan 是第三人称单数,一般现在时的动词必须加 -s,写成 birrs;汉语动词没有人称和数的变化,学习者容易漏掉这个词尾。
易错句子A breeze was biring through the curtains.正确表达A breeze was birring through the curtains.
birr 是以重读闭音节结尾的动词(b-i-rr),加 -ing 时要双写末尾的 r,写成 birring;学习者常按“直接加 -ing”的规则写成 biring,造成拼写错误。
