易错句子My uncle helicopter to work every day.
正确表达My uncle helicopters to work every day.
一般现在时中，主语是第三人称单数（my uncle）时，动词必须加 -s，写成 helicopters。汉语动词不随人称和数变化，学生容易直接沿用原形。

易错句子Last week they helicopter the medical supplies to the village.
正确表达Last week they helicoptered the medical supplies to the village.
helicopter 是规则动词，与表示过去的时间状语 last week 搭配要用过去式，加 -ed 构成 helicoptered。汉语靠时间词表示过去、动词本身不变形，学生常漏掉 -ed。

正确表达Look! The rescuers are helicoptering the injured to safety right now.
Look! 与 right now 表示动作正在发生，须用现在进行时 be + 动词-ing，即 are helicoptering。汉语用“正在”表示进行、动词不变形，学生容易只写原形。
