  一个句子必须表达一个完整的、前后语意一致的意思。如果把不相干的意思放在一个句子里或一个句子表达不完整,就会出现逻辑问题。句子无论长短,在安排上要合乎逻辑,衔接自然,使句内语意关系明确。而同学们在习作过程中常出现悬垂修饰语、指代不明、缺少过渡词语、非平行结构和语意不完整的分割句等错误。例如:
  误: Being an honest man, Tom worked very hard.
  正: Being an honest man, Tom never tells a lie.
  误: Liu Hua is a kind-hearted girl. She will be successful in anything she tries.
  正: As she has a strong will and confidence in herself, Liu Hua may be successful in anything she tries.
  误: Rose is in love with John, John is in love with Mary.
  正: Rose is in love with John, but John is in love with Mary.
  书面表达中主要不一致的错误有以下几大类:
  一、比较对象不一致
  在英语的比较句型中,两个待比较的对象应具有可比性,这也就是语法上说的比较对象的一致性问题。有的同学在进行英语写作时,经常忽略这个一致性问题,从而写出一些不符合英语习惯的句子。
  误:The population of China is much larger than Japan.
  正:The population of China is much larger than that of Japan.
  点拨  the population of China应与the population of Japan比较,而不能与Japan比较,即误句主要错在比较对象不一致。在组织此类句子时,为避免重复,正句中的the population of China用that of China代替。
  误:The style of the new building is different from the old one.
  正:The style of the new building is different from that of the old one.
  正:The new building is different from the old one in style.
  点拨  用different表示比较时,也要注重比较对象的一致性。就本题而言,新的style应与旧的style比,或新的building与旧的building比,而不能将两者混在一起。
  二、主谓不一致
  在英语中,句子的主语和谓语动词在人称和数上必须一致。由于受汉语的影响,许多同学在写作时经常忽略句子的主谓一致关系,从而造成错误。
  误:Anyone can borrow the books, and it cost nothing to borrow them.
  正:Anyone can borrow the books and it costs nothing to borrow them.
  点拨  第一个分句的时态是一般现在时,故第二个分句中的动词cost不可能是动词的过去式,且由于句子主语是it,故谓语动词应用一般现在时的单数形式costs,而不能用cost。
  误:He as well as his parents have been to the Great Wall.
  正:He as well as his parents has been to the Great Wall.
  点拨  当作主语的名词或代词后有as well as, in addition to, including, with, along with, together with, but, except等引导的成分时,谓语动词的单复数仍由前面的主语决定。如:My English teacher together with his family is from England.
  误:Not only John but also I are going to Shanghai next week.
  正:Not only John but also I am going to Shanghai next week.
  点拨  在由not only ... but also ..., not just ...but ..., or, either ... or ..., neither ... nor ...连接主语的句子中及在there be句型中,谓语动词的单复数按就近原则处理,即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。如:Neither you nor she is a teacher.
  三、单复数不一致
  名词有可数和不可数之分,而可数名词又有单数与复数之区别。在英语写作中,名词单复数也是许多同学经常忽略的一个问题。
  误:On the way home I took a lot of picture because since the scenery was so beautiful. I’ll have them developed this afternoon.   正:On the way home I took a lot of pictures because the scenery was so beautiful. I’ll have them developed this afternoon.
  点拨  take picture中的picture为可数名词,根据下文中的them可知,此处应用复数形式pictures。
  误:He has been working so hard recently that he has got good mark in all his subjects.
  正:He has been working so hard recently that he has got good marks in all his subjects.
  点拨  从后面的subjects来看,mark应用复数形式,说的是在各科考试中都取得了好成绩。
  四、非谓语形式不一致
  动词的非谓语形式一直是英语学习中的一个难点,而动词非谓语形式的一致性问题更是许多同学经常忽略的一个问题。
  误:To know what is good and doing what is right are two different things.
  正:To know what is good and to do what is right are two different things.
  点拨  由and连接的两部分为并列主语,前一部分用不定式结构,后一部分也应用相同的结构。
  误:Fishing is his favourite hobby, and to collect coins is also his hobby.
  正:Fishing is his favourite hobby, and collecting coins is also his hobby.
  点拨 误句的问题就在于句子不平行(不一致),因为and前后都为句子,按英语习惯其结构形式应该一致。
  五、代词不一致
  代词一致的问题主要存在于性别一致、数的一致(单复数问题)和代词的格等方面。
  误:There are forty students in our class, and thirty of them are boys.
  正:There are forty students in our class, and thirty of us are boys.
  点拨 从前一分句可看出,本句谈论的是“我们班”的情况,故后一分句也应用第一人称。
  误:Once one has money, we can do what he wants (to do).
  正:Once one has money, he can do what he wants (to do).
  点拨 误句中前面提到的是one has money,后面又有what he wants,we与前后代词不一致,故应改为he。
  六、搭配不一致
  搭配不一致主要指句中的固定搭配应保持完整并与上下文一致。
  误:He worked so hard as he could catch up with his classmates.
  正:He worked so hard that he could catch up with his classmates.
  点拨 从固定形式上看,有so ... as ..., so ... that ...等。但从句意上看,此处应该用so ... that ...,才能保持句意及结构的一致。
  误:I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow.
  正:I was so tired that I fell asleep the moment my head touched the pillow.
  点拨 此处the moment是名词作连词,表示“一……就……”,前面不能加at。
  七、逻辑主语不一致
  按英语习惯,当非谓语动词作状语时,其逻辑主语应与句子主语保持一致,否则便会造成错误。
  误:After reading the letter, tears ran down his cheeks.
  正:After he read the letter, tears ran down his cheeks.
  正:After reading the letter, he burst into tears.
  点拨  after引导动名词作状语时,要注重其逻辑主语与句子主语保持一致。
  误:Given more time, the work could have been done better.
  正:Given more time, we could have done the work better.
  点拨  在上句中,given是give(给)的过去分词,given more time是过去分词短语,在句中用作状语,表示条件,相当于If we had been given more time。按照英语语法,分词短语用作状语,它的逻辑主语必须与句子主语保持一致。
  八、句子之间的逻辑关系不清
  误:It hit the old man down but the driver, a woman, didn’t stop her car.  Finding she had caused an accident, the woman sped her car to flee away. The old man and I saw the car’s number. It’s AC864. The old man couldn’t move, I decided to help him.
  正:It hit the old man down but the driver, who was a woman, didn’t stop her car. Finding she had caused an accident, the woman sped her car to flee away. Fortunately, I saw the car’s number. It’s AC864. Noticing the old man couldn’t move, I decided to help him.
