not only与but also后成分的结构应一致，故give应改为gives。

　　2. She as well as her brothers are fond of studying English.

　　are应当改为is。“单数名词＋with(together with, as well as, but等)＋其它名词”作主语时，其谓语应当用单数。

　　3. About $2,000 have been spent in buying new dress for his beautiful wife this year.

　　have应改为has。“About $2,000”作为一笔钱，被视为一个整体，谓语必须用单数。

　　VII. 有固定短语、词组时，要检查副词、介词、冠词是否使用错误。例如：

　　1. Suddenly I caught a sight of my English teacher in the crowd.

　　catch sight of “看见”，所以要去掉a。

　　2. When he came back, he found someone had broken in his house.

　　break into “破门而入”，所以要把in改为into。

　　3. Can you tell me about what I should do? (NMET 2004 I)

　　tell后可以加双宾语，所以应当把about去掉。

　　4. I’m sure they will laugh to me．．．(NMET 2004 I)

　　laugh at sb. “嘲笑某人”，所以应当把to改为at。

　　VIII. 发现有特殊动词结构时，要检查是否有非谓语动词或虚拟语气方面的错误。例如：

　　1. Don’t forget taking your umbrella when you leave here.

　　forget, remember, regret等后跟-ing形式表示“已经做过某事”；跟动词不定式的一般式表示“要做某事”。根据句意，应当把taking改为to take。

　　2. I suggested to go there with him after class.

　　suggest, advise, finish, mind, enjoy, require, practice, consider, miss, avoid, admit, delay, imagine, risk, keep, escape, resist等动词后要跟-ing形式作宾语。所以要把to go改为going。

　　3. He ordered that the work must be started at once.

　　order, demand, require, request, insist, propose, advise, suggest等动词后跟宾语从句时，宾语从句中的谓语要用“动词原形”或“should+动词原形”。所以要把must改为should或者把must去掉。

　　IX.发现有非谓语动词作状语、表语或定语时，要检查是否有非谓语动词和逻辑主语不一致的错误。例如:

　　The box is too heavy for the little boy to carry it.

　　该句型中不定式to carry逻辑上的宾语就是句子的主语，所以句中的it是多余的。
