safe
[誤] The brave man safed the boy from drowning.
[正] The brave man saved the boy from drowning.
[析] safe是形容詞，如： They wished him a safe journey. safely是副詞，如： The young man drives his car safely. 而safety是名詞，如： safety island(安全島)，Safety first!(安全第一!)但save是動詞。
same
[誤] Yesterday I got a postcard. It is the same that you got the day before yesterday.
[正] Yesterday I got a postcard. It is the same as you got the day before yesterday.
[析] the same that意為"即是"，而the same as才能譯為"像……一樣的。"
[誤] Your book is not same as mine.
[正] Your book is not the same as mine.
[析] the same as中的定冠詞不能少。
say
[誤] His report wrote she is nineteen.
[正] His report says she is nineteen.
[析] 中文中常講"報告上寫到"、"信上寫到"，這樣的"寫"在英文中要用say.
say speak talk tell
英文中"說"一般有四個詞，其中say和tell為及物動詞。tell可以加雙賓語，如Please tell me a story. 而speak與talk為不及物動詞。speak只有後面直接加"語言"時才是及物的，如： Please speak English. 請看下句： He went on talking for a long time, but he spoke so fast that few of us could catch what he said.
sea
[誤] As a boy his great ambition(抱負) was to go to the sea.
[正] As a boy his great ambition was to go to sea.
[析] go to sea為"去當水手、海員";而go to the sea=go to the seaside, 如： He want to go to the sea for his vacation.
在"海中"游泳為in the sea; at sea為在"海上航行"，如： I have a brother at sea. by sea為"坐船"、"由海路運輸"，如： We travelled to New York by sea.
second
[誤] I want to learn the second foreign language.
[正] I want to learn a second foreign language.
[析] 當作為"第二"外語，"再增加一個"時，不要用the second而要用a second. the second強調排隊的次序，a second強調再增加一個。
see
[誤] He was seen leave the room.
[正] He was seen to leave the room.
[析] see作主動態時用作to see somebody do something, 而用作被動態時則是somebody to be seen to do something. 要注意慣用法let me see(讓我想想)。
sheep
[誤] There are five sheeps on the grass.
[正] There are five sheep on the grass.
[析] sheep是單、複數同形名詞，其他的還有： deer(鹿)，fish(魚)等。
ship
[誤] I travelled on a yacht.
[正] I travelled on a ship (in a yacht).
[析] 雖然都是船，但遊艇(yacht)要用in, 而ship要用on.
sick
[誤] The little boy was a ill boy.
[正] The little boy was a sick boy.
[析] sick與ill作表語時都表示"有病"之意，如： He feels ill. 或He feels sick. 都對，但作定語時則只能用sick.
since
[誤] He is living in Greece since 1978.
[正] He has lived in Greece since 1978.
[正] He has been living in Greece since 1978.
[析]
由since引出的狀語從句意為"自從"某時一直如何，主句要用完成時或完成進行時。
[誤] She has been quite different since came back from America.
[正] She has been quite different since coming back from America.
[析] 分詞短語可以用在after, before, since等介詞後面。
sleep
[誤] The boy was very asleep.
[正] The boy was fast asleep.
[析] 熟睡在英文中為fast asleep. 非正式英語中一般不常用He's sleeping. 而常講He's asleep. 其形容詞sleepy是"睏倦的"，如： I shall go to bed now. I'm so sleepy. "臥鋪"英國人講sleeping car，而美國人講sleeper.
slow
[誤] Slow the door opened.
[正] Slowly the door opened.
[析] slow與slowly的用法與意思相同，在口語中和路標中多用slow，如： Tell him to drive slower. Slow, dangerous bend. 但是如果用在動詞前還是要用slowly.
smile
[誤] She smiled to me.
[正] She smiled at me.
[析] "衝著某人笑"應為to smile at somebody.
