few

[误] Few of them is very good.

[正] Few of them are very good.

[析] few意为"几乎没有"，但要用复数谓语动词。如果讲有一些人应用 a few,如： There were only a few people in the street.

[误] There are less farms than there used to be.

[正] There are fewer farms than there used to be.

[析] few的比较级为 fewer，其后接可数名词;而 little的比较级为 less，其后接不可数名词。

field

[误] He is a famous scientist on the field of physics.

[正] He is a famous scientist in the field of physics.

[析] in the field是"在田野上"或是"在某一学科领域内"，而 on the field则多指"在战场上"。如： He lost his life on the battle field.

fill

[误] She filled orange into my glass.

[正] She filled my glass with orange.

[析]表示要用某种物品装满某容器时要用 fill with词组，如： The boy ran back home filled with joy.

fill full

fill是动词，但有及物与不及物两种用法，当表示"充满"之意时是不及物动词，应用 fill with，如： The little girl's eyes filled with tears. 而当表示"使……装满某物"时，是及物动词，如： He filled his pocket with books. 而 be filled with应看作系表结构，如： The boy's mother was filled with anger. full是形容词，要用 be full of这一词组，如： The boy was full of joy.?

find

[误] He has finded his lost bike.

[正] He has found his lost bike.

[析] find是不规则动词，其过去式和过去分词均是 found。但 found一词又意为"建立"，它是规则动词，其过去式及过去分词均为 founded.

[误] It is very difficult to look for a suitable job.

[正] It is very difficult to find a suitable job.

[析] look for为"寻找"，而 find是找到。寻找工作并不难，难的应是找到合适的工作。

find find out

find out意为"找出、算出、发现"，如： I have found out how to do it. 而 find的主要侧重点在找到某物，如： I find my book under the desk.

finish

[正] I finished reading that book last night.

[析]英文中有些动词其后只能用动名词作宾语而不能用不定式作宾语，这样的动词在中考范围内有两个，即 finish和 enjoy。

fire

[误] There's no smoke without a fire.

[正] There's no smoke without fire.

[析] 此句应译为中文"无风不起浪"。 fire作为物质名词"火"讲时为不可数名词，而作为"炉火"、"火灾"讲则是可数名词，如： There was a fire in the next street last month. 如要讲"着火了"要用 be on fire,如： The factory was

on fire.

[误] The man fired to us.

[正] The man fired at us.

[析] fire (on) at均指"向某目标开火"， at用于较小目标，而 on用于较大目标。

first

[误] Is this your firstly visit to Beijing?

[正] Is this your first visit to Beijing?

[析]除了在强调第一、第二、第三等场合中有时还可见 firstly一词外，这个词已不多见，而均被 first取代。 first还有"首先"、"首次"、"第一次"之意。
