まずはこの3つ
- まず主語と動詞を見つけ、数・時制・態の一致を確かめる
- 動詞の後ろ(前置詞の有無・to か -ing か)を疑う
- 名詞は可算・不可算、関係詞は後ろの完全・不完全をチェック
正誤問題の見方:疑う順番4
- 1主語と動詞を決める修飾語句(of 〜・関係詞節・挿入)をカッコでくくり、主語の中心と動詞の数・時制を確かめる。
- 2動詞の後ろを見る自動詞か他動詞か、to V か -ing か、受動態にできる動詞か。語法の誤りは動詞の直後に集中する。
- 3名詞・代名詞・冠詞を見る不可算名詞の -s・a、代名詞の数、the other / another。
- 4最後に「正しそうな所」も疑うどれも正しく見えたら、時制の目印(yesterday・since)や比較の形(very+比較級)を見直す。
