Common mistakes
I need fixing the car.I need to fix the car.
在英文中,'need'后接动名词表示被动意义(如'The car needs fixing'),若表示主动的'需要做某事',应用'need to do'。应将'fixing'改为'to fix',因为主语是动作的执行者。
The fixing for dinner is ready.The fixings for dinner are ready.
当'fixing'表示'配料、配菜'时,通常用复数形式'fixings'。中文学习者常误用单数,受中文'调料'概念影响。同时,主语变为复数后,谓语动词也相应改为'are'。
