易错句子Please turn off it before you go to bed.
正确表达Please turn it off before you go to bed.
turn off / turn on 是「动词 + 副词小品词」构成的短语动词。当宾语是人称代词(it、them)时,代词必须夹在 turn 和小品词之间,说 turn it off;只有名词宾语才可以放在小品词之后,如 turn off the light 或 turn the light off。汉语「把它关掉」的语序容易让学生把 it 放到 off 后面。

易错句子Turn left in the next traffic light.
正确表达Turn left at the next traffic light.
汉语说「在某个路口/红绿灯处转弯」,用「在」;英语表示拐弯发生的具体地点用 at,不用 in。in 表示「在……内部」,如 in the room,不能用来指拐弯的路口位置。

易错句子The weather turned to cold last night.
正确表达The weather turned cold last night.
turn 作系动词表示「变得」时,后面直接跟形容词,中间不加 to 或 into,如 turn cold、turn red、turn sour。只有后接名词时才用 turn into / turn to,如 turn into ice。汉语的「变」后面不带介词,学习者常因此多加一个 to。
作为 turn 表示“变成,转为(某状态)”时的反义词,如 turn cold(变冷)与 stay warm(保持温暖)。
与 stay 类似,也用于 turn 表示“变得”之意的反义,强调持续处于原有状态,如 remain calm(保持平静)对应 turn angry(变得生气)。
