易错句子He rape her last night.
正确表达He raped her last night.
英语动词在过去时中需要加 -ed 构成过去式，而汉语动词没有时态变化。rape 是规则动词，其过去式为 raped；因此当句子表示过去发生的动作时，必须用 raped，不能用原形 rape。

易错句子The law says that anyone who rape a child will be punished.
正确表达The law says that anyone who rapes a child will be punished.
在一般现在时中，当主语是第三人称单数时，动词要加 -s。这里 who 指代 anyone，是第三人称单数，所以动词用 rapes，而不是原形 rape。汉语没有主谓一致的变化。

易错句子He raped with her.
正确表达He raped her.
rape 是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语（受害者），不需要介词 with。若想表达‘他强奸了她’（她是受害者），必须用 her 作直接宾语。用 with 会表示‘和她一起强奸（别人）’，意思完全不同。汉语中可能说‘和她一起强奸’，但英语中不能用 with 来引出受害者。
