误区3:一个句子中有多个冒号存在。例:The successof the action depended on three variables:that theweather would hold out, that the supplies would arrive on time, and that theenemy would be short on three things: planes,ammunition, and food。

应改为:The success of the action depended on three variables:thatthe weather would hold out, that the supplies would arrive on time, and thatthe enemy would be short on planes, ammunition, and food。

连字符,Hyphen

连字符(Hyphen)的用法:

1、一行末尾的音节分割线

2、连接复合形容词

3、数字21-99的英语表达。

其中最常出现的第二种用法,例:a well-used coat。(注:连字符连接的复合形容词后必须要有名词出现,否则不能用连字符连接。例:Her coat was well used。)

单引号,Apostrophe

单引号(Apostrophe)的用法:

1、单数名词+单引号+字母s表示该单数名词的所属关系,例:Lucy’s cat。

2、复数名词(以S结尾)直接加单引号表示所属关系,例:girls’ room。

注:个别名词变复数时是不规则变法,比如man-men, child-children等,那么它们的所属关系表达即为men’s,children’s。

3、缩写,例:is not –isn’t等。

单引号在ACT语法考试中的易错点:把代词和谓语动词的缩写和物主代词混淆。比如its和it’s(it is),their和they’re(they are)。
