begin ? ［误］ The meeting will begin from Monday.? ［正］ The meeting will begin on Monday.? ［误］ The film has begun for ten minutes.? ［正］ The film has been on for ten minutes.? ［析］ begin是瞬间动词，所以它的完成时态不能接表示一段时间的状语，如：The film has begun. 这句话是对的，即电影已经开始.但要讲已经开始10分钟了则要用has been on即上演了10分钟.? begin、start ? begin与start两词后面加不定式或动名词都可以，且意思并无区别，但在表达习惯时接动名词的用法较多，如：How old wern you when you first started learning English？但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式，如：I was beginning to get hungry. 但如果句子的主语是物而不是人，则多用不定式，如：The ice began to melt. It started to get dark before we got to school. 当动词是表达某种心理状态时，要用不定式，如：The student began to understand his mistakes.? ［误］ They study hard in the class from the beginning to the end.? ［正］ They study hard in the class from beginning to end.? ［析］ from beginning to end是习惯用法，即自始至终，不要加冠词，但如单独使用则要加冠词，例如：At the beginning，the teacher gave us an exam.? behind ? ［误］ He missed the class because he was behind the time.? |
