1.你家里有几口人？

A. How many people in your family? （×）

B. How many people are there in your family? （√）

解析：用How many people in your family? 来问老外家里有几个人？人家会懂你的意思，但它在语法上是错误的句子。这句话没有主语或动词，成分残缺，是个不成立的句子。

改法是用there 的句型，变成How many people are there in your family?另外也可以用人当主语，改为How many people do you have in your family?

2.我家有三口人。

A.There are three of us in my family.（√）

B.My family have three people.（×）

解析：由于汉语和英语的语序不同，说话的重点也不同，英语表达偏向用“it”，“there be”以及名词性主语开头。而中国学生则习惯用“I，we，they，my”等开头的句子，不仅通篇句式单一，也打破了英语表达的语言习惯。

3.他送给我一份礼物。

A.He sent me a present. ( × )

B.He gave me a present.（√）

解析：send 所指的“送”其实是“寄送；传送”，所以除非礼物是寄送或由专人送去的，否则不能用这个字，应该要用give (给)这个动词。

4.这价格太贵了。

A.The price is too expensive.( × )

B.The price is too high. ( √ )

解析：在英文里，只能说某物便宜或贵，也就是说当你要用形容词cheap (廉价的) / inexpensive (不贵的) / expensive (昂贵的)时，只能用某物当主语。

比如：Carrots are cheap. (红萝卜很便宜。)

当主语是price 时，正确的形容词应该是high (高) / low (低)
