can be able to ?
can與be able to都可以用來表示能力,但can只有現在時與過去時,be able to則可用任何時態,如:He will be able to teach the child. 但要表示經過努力而達到的一次性動作則只能用be able to,如:He finally was able to jump over 2?10 meters. 或:The plane was able to fly over the mountain. 但要注意的是這兩個詞都沒有進行時態,而be able to后面不接不定式的被動態。?
can could ?
can與could都可以用在現在時的口語中,只是用could更為禮貌,語氣更委婉。如:Could you tell us a story?
care ?
[誤] I don't care coffee.?

[析] 工資的高低要用low,cheap是指價格便宜,如果要講物美價廉則要用not expensive, 如:This car is not expensive.?
choose ?
[誤] We each had to have a choose of A or B.?
[正] We each had to have a choice of A or B.?
[析] choice是名詞,而choose是動詞。?

clean ?
[誤] Sorry, I didn't bought it here. I cleanly forgot.?
[正] Sorry, I didn't bought it here. I clean forgot.?

[正] My school was quite close to my home.?
[析] 與接近是close to,例如:?
