Bài tập tìm lỗi sai trong Tiếng Anh thi vào lớp 10
I. Phương pháp tìm lỗi sai
Dạng bài xác định lỗi sai trong đề thi là một dạng bài tương đối khó vì nó kiểm tra kiến thức toàn
diện của các em học sinh. Có 2 dạng bài xác định lỗi: lỗi chính tả và lỗi ngữ pháp. 1. Lỗi sai chính tả
Người ra đề sẽ cho một từ viết sai chính tả (sai vì thừa hoặc thiếu chữ cái). Nhiệm vụ của các em
là phải tìm ra lỗi sai đó thông qua kiến thức từ vựng đã học. 2. Lỗi sai ngữ pháp
Đây là dạng phổ biến nhất trong dạng bài xác định lỗi sai. Dưới đây là một số lỗi mà các đề thi
thường yêu cầu các em tìm ra:
3. Sai về sự hòa hợp giữa chủ ngữ và động từ
Quy tắc cơ bản là chủ ngữ số ít đi với động từ chia ở dạng số ít, chủ ngữ số nhiều đi với động từ
chia ở dạng số nhiều. Ngoài ra còn có một số trường hợp khác mà các em cũng phải nắm vững.
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau:
I like (A) pupils (B) who works (C) very hard (D).
Who ở đây là thay cho pupils vì vậy động từ trong mệnh đề quan hệ phải phù hợp với chủ ngữ
tức ở dạng số nhiều. Do đó lỗi sai cần tìm là C.
4. Sai về thì của động từ
Nếu các em lưu ý đến trạng ngữ chỉ thời gian trong câu thì việc xác định thì của động từ sẽ vô cùng dễ dàng.
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau
We (A) only get (B) home (C) from France (D) yesterday.
Do có trạng từ yesterday (hôm qua) nên động từ phải chia ở thì quá khứ - lỗi sai cần tìm là B.
5. Sai đại từ quan hệ
Các đại từ quan hệ ,
who whose, whom, which, that... đều có cách sử dụng khác nhau. Ví dụ
who thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người đóng vai trò là chủ ngữ, which thay thế cho danh từ chỉ vật...
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau:
He gave (A) orders to the manager (B) whose (C) passed them (D) on to the foreman.
Whose là đại từ quan hệ đóng vai trò là tính từ sở hữu. Trong trường hợp này ta dùng một đại từ
bổ nghĩa cho danh từ manager. Do đó, ta dùng who – lỗi sai cần tìm là C. 6. Sai về bổ ngữ
Các em phải chú ý khi nào thì dùng to infinitive, bare infinitive hoặc V-ing.
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau:
I want to travel (A) because (B) I enjoy to meet (C) people and seeing new places (D).
Ta có cấu trúc: enjoy + V-ing nên lỗi sai cần tìm là C.
7. Sai về câu điều kiện
Có 3 loại câu điều kiện với 3 cấu trúc và cách dùng khác nhau. Chỉ cần ghi nhớ và áp dụng đúng
thì việc xác định lỗi sai sẽ không hề khó khăn.
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau:
What would (A) you do (B) if you will win (C) a million (D) pounds?
Đây là câu điều kiện không có thực ở hiện tại nên động từ ở mệnh đề if chia ở quá khứ. (To be
được chia là were cho tất cả các ngôi). 8. Sai về giới từ
Giới từ thường đi thành cụm cố định như to be fond of, to be fed up with, to depend on, at
least.... Các em cần phải học thuộc lòng những cụm từ đó.
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau:
We're relying (A) with (B) you to find (C) a solution (D) to this problem.
To rely on sb: tin cậy, trông đợi vào ai. Do đó, B là đáp án cần tìm.
9. Sai hình thức so sánh
Có 3 hình thức so sánh là so sánh bằng, so sánh hơn và so sánh nhất. Các em phải nắm vững cấu
trúc của từng loại vì người ra đề thường cho sai hình thức so sánh của tính/ trạng từ hoặc cố tình
làm lẫn giữa 3 loại so sánh với nhau.
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau:
The North (A) of England (B) is as industrial (C) than the South (D).
Đây là câu so sánh hơn vì có than – as industrial phải được chuyển thành more industrial.
9. So...that... và such...that...
Ta có 2 cấu trúc câu sau:
So + adj/ adv + that + clause
Such + (a/ an) + adj + n + that + clause
Quan sát câu đã cho xem có mạo từ
hay danh từ hay không để dùng a/ an so hoặc such.
Ví dụ: Xác định lỗi sai trong câu sau:
It seems (A) like so (B) a long way to drive (C) for just (D) one day.
Có mạo từ nên câu phải dùng cấu trúc s a
uch...that... B là đáp án cần tìm. 10. Many và much
Các em học sinh cũng hay nhầm lẫn giữa many và much. Many dùng trước danh từ đếm được
số nhiều còn much dùng trước danh từ không đếm được.
