[误]The old man has two sons. One is a teacher, another is a doctor.
[正]The old man has two sons. One is a teacher, the other is a doctor.
[析]another用于泛指,如:Is it far from here to the station?I'm sorry. I have no idea. One may say it is quite near; another may say it is far from here.但在特指时则要用the other.它可以用作定语,the other one,也可以用作代词the other,但the other用作代词时它的含意一定是单数。如果指三者或者三者以上的情况时,则要用one…another…the other.或者one…a second…the third…

[误]This room is enough large for the students to live in.
[正]This room is large enough for the students to live in.
[析]enough 可以用作代词,如:There is enough of the food. 又如:Enough has been done for the work,但enough 还可以作形容词来修饰名词,这时enough可以放在名词之前,也可放在名词之后,如:money enough 与enough money都是对的。但当enough作副词修饰形容词时,则只能置于形容词之后了。
[误]I want any books to read. Do you have any?
[正]I want some books to read. Do you have any?
[析]按照语法any用于疑问句和否定句,而some用于肯定句。
[误]Would you like any thing to drink?
[正]Would you like something to drink?
[析]在由would you like发出的问句中,表达了说话者真心实意要为对方提供些饮料,或在说话者想得到对方的肯定答复时,在疑问句中要用some而不用any。
[误]Someone want to meet you.
[正]Someone wants to meet you.
[析]不定代词应被看作单数,即使用and连接两个不定代词,也要看作单数,如: Anyone and everyone has the right. 任何人,每一个人都有这样的权力。
[误]New York is much colder in winter than before.
[正]It is much colder in New York in winter than before.
[析]it常常用在英文的句子中来代表时间、距离、天气、自然现象,或用在句中作形式主语或宾语,如:
It is ten o'clock now. (代时间)
It is far from here to the airport. (代距离)
It is very hot.(代天气)
It is very difficult to learn English well. (作形式主语)
We found it very difficult to answer the question. (作形式宾语)

3___ is wrong with my watch. It has stopped___.
A Something, working B Something, to work

[析]因为是肯定句所以应用Something,其后由于表停止工作了,则stop后要用动名词。
