Frequent mistakes while using English language

Across vs. through

Across = 2d át, keresztül. 

Pl He ran across the road.

Through = 3d át, keresztül, pl 

I vs. Me

 Nagyon egyszerű: I = alanyeset, míg Me = tárgyeset

Pl:

          Mary and I were in cinema yesterday.

         He has sent me a kind letter.

All vs. Every vs. Each.

All = egész, összes, mind

              It is raining all day.

             I have lost all my money.

Every = összes, de egyenként értve. Kizárólag megszámlálható főnevekkel működik.

                Mindig egyesszám van utána!

              I have checked every room.

             It rains every day in autumn.

Each = összes, egyenként értve. Mégsem ugyanaz, mint az előző, nézd: 

             Every artist is sensitive.

            Each artist sees things differently.

   Tehát az előző csoportként érhető, míg ez egyenként, individuálisan

Indokolatlan Present Perfect:

Wrong:    I have visited Niagara Falls last weekend.

Right:       I visited Niagara Falls last weekend.

Amennyiben mondjuk az állítmány 'to be' lenne, akkor lehetne értelme, de a 'to visit' esetén nincs.

Személynél mindig 'who' legyen:

Wrong:  The woman which works here is from Japan. 

Right:  The woman who works here is from Japan.

'To marry' vonzata a 'to':

Wrong:   She’s married with a dentist.

Right:     She is married to a dentist.

Boring/Bored:

Wrong:  She was boring in the class.

Right:    She was bored in the class.

Határozottan nem mindegy, hogy unalmas vagyok, vagy unatkozom :)

Ugyanez vonatkozik pl erre is: exciting/excited

Although után már nem kell 'but':

Wrong:   Although it was raining, but we had the picnic.

Right:     Although it was raining, we had the picnic.

Have to vagy Must (és nem 'Must to'):

Wrong:   I must to call him immediately. 

Right:      I must call him immediately.

Csak a 'have to' után van 'to', a 'must' után nincs!

'Looking forward to'

Wrong:    I look forward to meet you.

Right:      I look forward to meeting you.

Ez egy különleges szerkezet, ahol kivételesen -ing alak követi a 'to'-t. Igazából ez azért van, mert egy főnév kell oda, hiszen a találkozÁST várod.

Szórend: 

Wrong:   I like very much ice cream. 

Right:     I like ice cream very much.

A tárgy előrébb való, mint a határozók!

Can után:

Wrong:  She can to drive.

Right:     She can drive.

Itt nem tükörfordítunk, hiába vezetNI magyarul, mivel a 'can' egy modális ige, nincs utána főnévi igenév!

Szórend 2: 

Wrong:   Where I can find a bank?

Right:      Where can I find a bank?

Kérdésnél a modális ige ugyanúgy előre kerül, mint egy segédige.

Rejtett conditional:

Wrong:    When I will arrive, I will call you.

Right:       When I arrive, I will call you.

Itt a 1st conditional szabályai érvényesek, a 'when' helyettesíti az 'if'-et

The USA: 

Wrong:    I live in United States.

Right:       I live in the United States.

Ha egy földrajzi név melléknév+főnév, akkor kell elé a 'the'.

Since/For:

Wrong:    I’ve been here since three months.

Right:      I’ve been here for three months.

Időtartam esetén 'for', időpontnál pedig 'since'

Job/Work: 

Wrong:  My girlfriend has got a new work.

Right:     My girlfriend has got a new job.

Egyszerű jelentésbeli különbség van. Job = Állás; Work = Munka

Listen:

Wrong:   She doesn’t listen me.

Right:     She doesn’t listen to me.

A 'to listen' ige mögé mindig kell egy 'to', ha ott van, hogy mit hallgatunk/figyelünk.

Good/Well: 

Wrong:   You speak English good.

Right:      You speak English well.

'Good' = jó; míg a 'Well' = jól

Police:

Wrong:   The police is coming.

Right:     The police are coming.

'Police' = rendőrség, így többesszám. Egyes száma kifejezésére: 'policeman' vagy 'police officer'

Enough: 

Wrong:   The house isn’t enough big.

Right:     The house isn’t big enough.

Pont fordítva használjuk, mint magyarul.

Dupla negáció:

Wrong:   I didn’t meet nobody.

Right:     I didn’t meet anybody.

Tagadó mondatba már nem mehet negatív értelmű szó!

Minden mondatban kell, hogy legyen Alany és Állítmány: 

Wrong:  His favourite car Mercedes.

Right:  His favourote car is Mercedes.

Amennyiben hiányzik a magyar mondatból, fordításnál pótolnunk kell azt!

Children:

Wrong:  How many childrens do you have?

Right:    How many children do you have?

Rendhagyó többeszámi forma

'ful' végződés: 

Wrong:   She is success.

Right:     She is successful.

Főnévből melléknevet több esetben '-ful' végződéssel képzünk (egy L!) Pl: beauty-beautiful, wonder-wonderful

Like/As:

Wrong:   You are very nice, as your mother.

Right:     You are very nice, like your mother.

'Like' = olyan mint (de nem az), 'As' = valamiként (tényleg az) Te nem vagy az anyád...

Say/Tell:

Wrong:  She said me that she liked you. 

Right:     She told me that she liked you.

A 'to tell' vonzatos, kell mögé, hogy kinek (me), míg a 'to say' nem az, oda hiba rakni 'irányt'

Foglalkozásnevek:

Wrong:   Her husband is engineer.

Right:     Her husband is an engineer.

Foglalkozásnevek elé mindig kell egy határozatlan névelő!

Visszaható névmások:

Wrong:  They cooked the dinner themself.

Right:    They cooked the dinner themselves.

Figyeljünk a többesszámi formákra!

With/By:

Wrong:    I always go to school with bus.

Right:       I always go to school by bus.

Közlekedési eszközök esetén 'with' helyett 'by'-t használunk.

Home:

Wrong:  We are going to home.

Right:     We are going home.

Home elé nem kell prepozíció, kivéve az 'at', ha logikailag az 'otthonomban'. Pl. I'm at home.

I had a terrible evening. I got home late from work and still had a report to finish. As you

know, my computer is really old and slow - I really need to install more __________.

Anyway, when I tried to double-__________ on the file I wanted to work on, a ________

appeared telling me that the file could not be opened. So I decided to try opening it using a

different programme but that only made my computer ___________ completely. The screen

went blank and the ___________ froze. By this time, I was tearing my hair out - it was past

midnight and I still hadn't started working on that report. I phoned my computer guru friend,

Matt, and he told me I probably had a __________ in my system. I must have got it from one

of those stupid joke email attachments - you know, like the 'Love __________' one. I had to

resort to using my __________ but I hate the keyboard on it - it's too small. At least I got my

report finished. Matt's going to send me some software to fix the problem. He also told me in

the future to go to the applications ___________ and launch a good protection programme

before opening unknown files. Good advice and better late than never, I suppose.
