1.你做完家庭作业了吗? 误:Have you made your homework? 正:Have you done your homework?
“做”，到底是make还是do呢?如果是“制作”的意思，一般用make；如果是“干”的意思，则用do。又如:He made a model plane in the summervacation.(他暑假里做了一架模型飞机。)/Shedoes her work neatly and thoroughluy.(她干事儿总是干净利索，要干就干好。)为了在“做”的说法上分清make和do，熟记下列习惯用法颇为重要:
做错事make a mistake；做了许诺makea promise做实验make an experiment；做了一次讲演make a speech；做桌子makeat a ble做(制订)计划make a plan
做好事do good；做坏事do evil；做作业doone’s homework(doone’s lessons)；尽力做doone"s besst；做习题do a problem；做生意dobusiness做体操do gymnastics做早操domorningex ercises做事谋生do somethingfor a living。
2.你来参加我们的英语晚会吗?
误:Do you like to come to our EnglishEvening?
正:wou1d you like to coom to ourEnglish Evening?
正:Do you want to come to our EnglishEvening?
Do you like to do…?是问某人是否有爱做某事的习惯，显然与本题汉语意思不符。Wouldyoulike to do…?或Do you wantto do…?是问某人现在是否希望(愿意，想)做某事，符合本题意思。Wou1d you like to比Do you want to客气。
对上述正确问题的回答应为:Yes，I’d liketo，(but…)
3.他很漂亮。
误:He is beautiful.
误:He is pretty
正:He is handsome.
正:He is good-looking.
形容男人“英俊”，“漂亮”，“好看”用handsome或good-looking，而beautiful或pretty用来形容女人。但形容女人的身材匀称，精力充沛，举止端庄时也可用形容词handsome，如:She is morehanadsome than she is beautiful.
4.他穿着一身蓝套服。
误:He is wearing a blue dress.
正:He is wearing a blue suit.
dresses是妇女和女孩穿的，而男人或男孩穿的是suitu。但有些习惯说法不属此例，如:
(a man)in evening dress，in full dress等。顺便提一句:clothes是服装统称，可代替dress和suit，即男女均可穿clothes，如:
It was a big day for the villagers.Onthat day，men and women，old and youngwere all wearing new clothes.
