常见错误

❌ 错误:The river swelled because the heavy rain.
✓ 正确:The river swelled because of the heavy rain.

错误在于直接使用 'because' 接名词短语,应改为 'because of' 或 'due to' 来表示原因,因为 'because' 通常引导从句。

❌ 错误:She is a swell person, always helps others.
✓ 正确:She is a swell person who always helps others.

错误在于两个独立分句之间缺少连接词,应使用关系代词 'who' 来引导定语从句,使句子结构更完整和符合语法。
