1. 時態、語態錯誤：
ex.This incident reflected the decline of team sports in today’s universities.

ex.Obesity is a problem to most Americans for decades.
(誤。for加上一段時間，表示動作或狀態持續多久，一般常搭配完成式。)
➝ Obesity has been a problem to most Americans for decades.
(正確。幾十年來，肥胖對大部分美國人來說一直是個問題。)
ex.Trade is consisted of the exchange of goods and that of services.
(誤。consist of只用於主動語態，但用來表達被動語意。)
➝ Trade consists of the exchange of goods and that of services.
(正確。貿易由商品與服務的交換所構成。)
ex.At the nursing home, the elders can be well cared.
(誤。care為不及物動詞，後面需搭配介系詞。)

(正確。在療養院裡，老人可以得到良好的照顧。)

2. 一致性
ex.Raising standards of literacy are the government’s priority.

➝ Raising standards of literacy is the government’s priority.
(正確。提高讀寫能力的水準是政府的首要任務。)
ex.Overworking, coupled with poor diet, lead to physical degeneration.
(誤。主詞為overworking，動詞應搭配單數。)

(正確。工作過度，加上不良的飲食，會導致身體機能的退化。)
ex.Parenting, which are a stressful job, has been increasingly valued by society.
(誤。which先行詞為parenting，故需搭配單數動詞。)
➝ Parenting, which is a stressful job, has been increasingly valued by society.
(正確。教養，是一份有壓力的工作，已經逐漸被社會所重視。)
ex.A significant number of people has been leaving the countryside for urban areas.
