動詞是英語最容易犯錯的此類，下面是小編分享的大學英語常見動詞錯誤用法，希望能幫到大家!
①He remained in the Holiday Inn.
②The flowers stayed on the branches.
英語的remain是“留下來”;stay是“暫住”。顯然的，①和 ② 是不合邏輯的，
remained 和stayed必須互換。
③A crook robbed her money.
④A few masked men stole a small bank last night.
雖然robbed和stole都是及物動詞，有自己的賓語，但是它們在這裡的用法不當。
Steal要跟著被偷的`東西，如錢財、珠寶等;rob的賓語是“人”或“處所”。因此，③和④的robbed和stole要掉轉一下。
⑤ Sam raises very early every morning.
⑥ The monitor rises his hand to ask a question.
大家知道，raise是個及物動詞，意思是“舉起”，要有賓語; rise是個不及物動詞，意思是“起身”，不可有賓語。這裡的 ⑤ 和⑥都錯;raises和rises必須對換才對。
類似的例子還有下面這些：
⑦ a. mend b. repair
這兩個動詞都是“修理”;不同的是：簡單的工作，用mend;複雜的或需要特別儀器的事項，則用repair，如：
⑦a. You can mend the broken part of the page with glue.
⑦b. It took some time to repair the road.
⑧a. burned b. burnt
這兩個動詞是burn的過去式和過去分詞;在句子中的崗位不同，通常有賓語時用“burnt”，沒賓語時用“burned”，如：
⑧a. The love of freedom burned in our hearts./ The candle has burned
brightly for the whole night.
⑧b. Who has burnt the paper?/ Jane burnt all the letters from her former
boyfriend.
至於“動詞”和“助動+介詞”的誤用，我們可以看下面兩組例子：
⑨ The police searched the suspects in the shopping centre, but nobody was arrested.
⑩ I searched for my pocket and found some coins.
從語感就知道，⑨和⑩裡的searched和searched for是倒置了。 ⑨要的是“尋找”(searched for);⑩要的是“檢查”(searched )，兩者對換才是。
(11) The boy says when he grows, he will be a teacher.
(12) Their business grows up rapiding.
英語的grow是“發展”;grow up是“長大”。顯然的，(11)和(12) 的兩個動詞又誤用了，要對調一下。
