纠正英语口语中的常见错误

[错误一] Although…, but…缺一不可。
[纠错] 汉语里面的表示转折意思的时候，喜欢说“虽然…，但是…。”但是在英文里，往往一句话只用一个表示转折的词语，也就是用了Although，就不要再用but，或者直接用but表示转折。不过总的来看，Although要比but更加正式一些。
[例句] Although Nancy does not like her boss, she likes going to work anyway.或者Nancy does not like her boss, but she likes going to work anyway.虽然楠茜不喜欢她的老板，但是她还是想去上班的。
[错误二] many 和 much意思都一样，我想用哪个就用哪个。
[纠错] “many” 用来修饰可数名词的复数形式,如 “pieces of chalk, erasers, desks, bowls of salad, dollars, books, people, apples”等等。而 “much” 是用来修饰不可数名词的,如“chalk, mud, salad, money, knowledge, time, food”等等。这两个词的意思都是许多的意思，但是修饰的名词有区别，不要混淆。我们还可以用更加口语化的lots of 来代替many，用a lot of 来代替much。意思都是一样的。
[例句] I made many food for the dinner, such as pizza, baked chicken, and some banana bread.我为今天的晚餐准备了很多吃的，有披萨、烤鸡还有香蕉包。
