常见错误

• ✗There are a wolf in Scotland
  ✓There are no wolves in Scotland / There aren't any wolves in Scotland

  wolf 的复数是 wolves；说「没有」要用 there aren't any 或 there are no。

• ✗Eagles can to fly very high
  ✓Eagles can fly very high

  can 后面跟动词原形，不加 to。

• ✗The lion can't to catch its prey
  ✓The lion can't catch its prey

  can't 后面同样跟动词原形，不加 to。

• ✗There is many species of birds
  ✓There are many species of birds

  species 在这里是复数，要用 there are，不用 there is。

• ✗A tiger can runs very fast
  ✓A tiger can run very fast

  can 后面的动词永远用原形，不加 -s。

• ✗There is a lot of deers in the park
  ✓There are a lot of deer in the park

  deer 单复数同形，这里是复数，所以用 are。
