Misuse of Tenses

Students often misuse tenses in their writing by inconsistently shifting between past, present, and future without reason, leading to confusion.
For example, they might describe an event in the past but accidentally switch to the present tense midway, such as writing, “She went to the market and buys some fruits.” Another common mistake is using the wrong tense for the context, such as defaulting to the present tense whenever they do not see any time indicators, without considering the meaning or context of the situation.
This issue often arises because their native language does not involve tense distinctions. These errors disrupt the clarity and flow of their writing, making it harder for readers to follow their ideas. With practice and greater awareness, these issues can be addressed effectively.

學生在寫作英語時經常誤用時式，無意識的將過去式、現在式和未來式之間轉換，導致語意混淆。 例如，他們可能描述一個過去的事件，但在句子中途錯誤地切換到現在式。
這個問題源於母語本身不涉及時態區分，導致他們在英文寫作中出現這類錯誤。這些錯誤影響文章的流暢度與清晰度，使讀者難以理解作者的想法。 然而，透過持續練習與提升對時式的認識，這些問題可以有效改善，使寫作更加準確流暢。

Incorrect Use of Conjunctions

Many students misuse conjunctions by using the wrong ones for the context or placing them incorrectly within a sentence.
For instance, they might write, “She was hungry, but she ate a big meal,” where “but” contradicts the logical flow and “so” would be more appropriate. Another common mistake is overusing conjunctions, leading to run-on sentences like, “He wanted to go to the park and he had time and he was excited and…”
The mistakes mentioned above are often influenced by the tone of their mother language, which differs from English.
With consistent practice and refinement, these errors can be minimized, making sentences smoother and more coherent.

許多學生在使用連接詞時會出錯，例如在不合適的語境中選擇連接詞，或在句子中錯誤地放置它們。 舉例來說，他們可能會寫：「她很餓，但她吃了一頓大餐」，其中「但」與邏輯順序相矛盾，在這種情況下，「所以」會更合適。
這樣的錯誤通常受到母語語法的影響，而這些語言特徵與英語有所不同。 透過持續的練習和改進，這些問題可以逐步減少，使句子更加流暢且通順。

Confusion between Parts of Speech

Misuse of parts of speech occurs when students incorrectly apply grammatical elements such as verbs, nouns, adjectives, and adverbs in their writing.
For example, they might write, “He happy to help,” omitting the verb “is,” or use an adjective in place of an adverb, as in “She runs quick,” instead of “She runs quickly.”
These errors stem from a limited understanding of how different parts of speech function in sentence construction, as the challenges arise from the absence of corresponding grammatical patterns in their own language
By actively studying grammar rules and practicing their application, students can refine their writing and communicate their ideas with greater clarity and precision.

學生在寫作時經常錯誤地運用語法元素，如動詞、名詞、形容詞和副詞。 例如，他們可能會寫：「他高興幫忙」，而漏掉動詞 」，或是用形容詞代替副詞，如「她跑得快(quick)」，應改為「She runs quickly」。
這些錯誤源於對不同詞性在句子中的作用缺乏理解，主要是因為他們的母語中沒有對應的語法模式，導致學習時遇到挑戰。 透過積極學習語法規則並實踐應用，學生可以改進寫作技巧，使自己的表達更加清晰和準確。
