Common mistakes
woking is a town in England.Woking is a town in England.
Woking 是专有名词(英国城镇名),在英语中首字母必须大写。汉语大小写不分,容易误写成小写;将 w 改为 W 即符合英语专有名词的书写规范。
I will go Woking next week.I will go to Woking next week.
英语中 go 是不及物动词,接地点名词作目的地时必须用 go to + 地名,不能直接说 go Woking。这是受汉语“去沃金”无介词影响而漏掉 to;加上 to 后才符合 go to + place 的搭配。
