易错句子I voted to him in the last election.
正确表达I voted for him in the last election.
表示“投某人或某党的票”时，vote 后面要用介词 for，而不能用表示方向的 to。汉语“投给他”里的“给”容易直译成 to，但英语的固定搭配是 vote for sb，for 引出被支持的对象，所以改成 for 才正确。

易错句子Did you vote the election last week?
正确表达Did you vote in the election last week?
表示“在某场选举中投票”时，election 前面必须加介词 in，构成 vote in an election；vote 不能直接带 election 作宾语。汉语“投票选举”是动词连用，容易漏掉介词，补上 in 句子才成立。

易错句子My sister vote for the Green Party.
正确表达My sister votes for the Green Party.
一般现在时中，主语是第三人称单数（my sister）时，动词要加 -s，变为 votes。汉语动词没有词形变化，只靠词汇表示人称，所以容易忘记加 -s；补上 -s 才能与单数主语保持一致。
