五、代詞不一致

代詞一致的問題主要存在于性別一致、數的一致(單復數問題)和代詞的格等方面。如：

誤：There are forty students in our class, and thirty of them are boys.

正：There are forty students in our class, and thirty of us are boys.

析：從前一分句可看出，本句談論的是“我們班”的情況，故后一分句也應用第一人稱。

誤：Once one has money, we can do what he wants (to do)

正：Once one has money, he can do what he wants (to do)

析：誤句中前面提到的是one has money，面又有what he wants，we與前后代詞不一致，故應改為he。

六、搭配不一致

搭配不一致主要指句中的固定搭配應保持完整并與上下文一致。如：

誤：He worked so hard as he could catch up with his classmates.

正：He worked so hard that he could catch up with his classmates.

析：從固定形式上看，有so…as…,so …that… 等。但從句意上看，此處應該用so…that…，才能保持句意及結構的一致。

誤：I was so tired that I fell asleep at the moment my head touched the pillow.

正：I was so tired that I fell asleep the moment my head touched the pillow.

析：此處the moment是名詞用作連詞，表示“一……就……”，其前不能加at。

七、邏輯主語不一致

按英語習慣，當非謂語動詞作狀語時，其邏輯主語應與句子主語保持一致，否則便會造成錯誤。如：

誤：After reading the letter, tears ran down his cheeks.

正：After he read the letter, tears ran down his cheeks.

正：After reading the letter, he burst into tears.

析：after 引導動名詞作狀語時，要注意其邏輯主語與句子主語保      持一致。

誤：Given more time, the work could have been done better.

正：Given more time, we could have done the work better.

析：在上句中，given 是 give(給)的過去分詞，given more time為過去分詞短語，在句中用作狀語，表示條件，相當于 If we had been given more time。按照英語語法，分詞短語用作狀語，它的邏輯主語必須與句子主語保持一致。
