學習者應該怎麼修正自己的錯誤？

1. He can’t leave early because he has many works to do. [X]
He can’t leave early because he has a lot of work to do. [O]
He can’t leave early because he has many projects to do. [O]
解釋: work 當工作時是不可數名詞，只有當藝術，文學，和音樂的作品時才可數 (works of art)。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Reading daily helps people learn a lot of knowledge. [X]
Reading daily helps people acquire a lot of knowledge. [O]
解釋: learn 是學習而 knowledge 是知識，學問。你只可以獲得知識而不是學習知識。
請多參考配詞辭典: http://www.ozdic.com/collocation-dictionary/knowledge
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. About a million people in the region are lack of drinking water because of a prolonged drought. [X]
About a million people in the region lack of drinking water because of a prolonged drought. [X]
About a million people in the region lack access to drinking water because of a prolonged drought. [O]
Where there is a lack of water, there is conflict. [O]
Reports of the drought and exactly what is happening are lacking. [O]
The new government is lacking in experience. [O]
解釋: 在這裡 lack是一個及物動詞，所以可直接接受詞。補充：當lack是名詞時，則必須用of (lack of water = 名詞片語) 。Lacking是形容詞，使用時可以加入介係詞 in 來連接名詞。

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Many people choose not to attend the university after high school. [X]
Many people choose not to attend university after high school. [O]
解釋: 在表示處於某種狀態或從事某種活動的抽象概念時不用定冠詞the，指定哪一所大學時才會在這裡用定冠詞。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5 A list of names and numbers are on the table. [X]
A list of names and numbers is on the table. [O]
解釋:主詞後面的介系詞片語，只作修飾用，因此一致性只需看名詞的部分。
The country's leading export are cameras. [X]
The country’s leading export is cameras. [O]
解釋: be 動詞要和它的主詞一致，和補語無關，不要被混淆了！
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, has died for almost three years. [X]
Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, has been dead (adj.) for almost three years. [O]
Steve Jobs the former CEO of Apple, passed away (euphemism--婉轉說法) three years ago. [O]
解釋: 中文裡沒有「動作動詞」與「狀態動詞」的區分，不論是解釋動作或狀態往往都用同一個字詞來表示，但是在英文書寫時就容易出問題了。上列的句子皆是表示動作發生之後的某種狀態，所以不能再用”動作動詞”來描述，應該用”狀態”來表達。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
7. The students forget to bring their homework assignments to school today. [X]
The students forgot to bring their homework assignments to school today. [O]
解釋:現在式表示「事實」，但當在敘述你忘記某件事情時，因為你是在”過去”忘記這件事，所以用過去式。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
8. He becomes an excellent student after a sincere talk with his teacher. [X]
He became an excellent student after a sincere talk with his teacher. [O]
解釋: “他變成了一個好學生…”這是表示明顯改變的動詞。因為是敘述過去的改變，所以要用過去式。
(改變-become是在講這句話之前就已經發生的事，所以用過去式，但如果要說他現在是一位好學生，直接用He is an excellent student來表示)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
9. The ambassador answered the difficult question with warmth and in a humorous way. [X]
The ambassador answered the difficult question with warmth (n.) and humor (n.). [O]
解釋: 為了要表達一些地位平等的想法，英文使用平衡結構 (Parallelism)，將兩個字詞或句子用以下幾種方式連接起來，所連接的兩邊要使用一樣的時態、詞類等，以求平衡。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
10. People should stop to smoke as soon as possible. [X]
People should stop smoking as soon as possible. [O]
解釋:句子要表達的是人應該停止抽菸。由於把抽菸當作一件具體的事件，所以應該使用動名詞，若使用不定詞，則代表人應該停下來去抽菸。

as soon as時態 在 [文法] would as soon的句型用法- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的必吃
請問高手們一個文法觀念
(就算不是高手也歡迎參與討論)
https://goo.gl/BsXDik
https://goo.gl/X2KC2R
https://211.75.39.208/adv/grammar/data/SU591.htm
以上三個網頁我都有看懂了
另外我知道
would rather
=would sooner
=would just as soon
=would as soon
=had rather
=had sooner
=had just as soon
=had as soon
我只是想另外請問一個問題：
https://211.75.39.208/adv/grammar/data/SU591.htm
這個網頁的最最最下面的句型：
would/ had as soon + V1........as V2.
我的認知是這個句型只能有一個主詞
不能像
I would rather you hadn't failed the test.
因為他們有兩個主詞(I 和 you)
另外
would/ had as soon + V1........as V2.
是不是只能講現在或未來的假設
我的認知是好像這個句型不適用「與過去事實相反的假設語氣」
請問我的這兩個認知(單一主詞與時態限制)對嗎？
謝謝高手們！！！

*******************
serif大大說的我懂
因為would as soon = would rather
但是我想問的是
would/ had as soon + V1........as V2.
能同一句話有「兩個主詞」嗎？
例如： I would rather you weren't my son. (有兩個主詞)
另外
能表「與過去事實相反的假設語氣」嗎？
我不是只是在說 would as soon
我是說包含兩個 as 的 完整句子
would/ had as soon + V1........as V2.
請知道的人繼續指教
感謝！！！
