易错句子I stayed Beijing for three days last summer.
正确表达I stayed in Beijing for three days last summer.
stay 表示“停留、逗留”时是不及物动词,后面接地点名词必须先用介词 in 或 at;汉语说“待在北京/待在家”,地点词直接跟在动词后,所以学习者常漏掉介词。

stay 是不及物动词,只说明主语自己停留,不能带宾语表示“让某人留下”;汉语“让/使某人待在某处”要用 keep sb. in/at + 地点,这里主语是雨、宾语是我们,只能用 keep。

易错句子I am staying with my aunt since last month.
正确表达I have been staying with my aunt since last month.
“since + 时间点”表示从过去某一时刻一直延续到现在,谓语必须用现在完成时或现在完成进行时;汉语靠时间词表时间、动词不变形,所以容易误用一般现在进行时 am staying。
