entrance
［误］ The entrance of the cinema is on your right.
［正］ The entrance to the cinema is on your right.
［析］ 在表示通往某处时entrance后面多用to作介词。这样的用法还有key to the door, answer to the question等。
evening
［误］ I walked home in a cold evening.
［正］ I walked home on a cold evening.
［析］ in the evening这一词组如加上另外的修饰词则其介词应换为on.
everyone
［误］ Everyone of you goes to class.
［正］ Every one of you goes to class.
［析］ everyone其后不能接of结构。在否定句中如果要讲"每一个人都没有注意到它"，就译作：Nobody noticed it. 要注意Every one of us is not right. 应译为"我们不都对。"而None of us are right. 才应译为"我们全错了。"
exam
［误］ We take part in an exam.
［正］ We take an exam.
［析］ take part in为"参加"某种活动，运动，而在学科中选择某一学科学习并进行考试应用take.
except
［误］ The room is clean except two desks.
［正］ The room is clean except for two desks.
［误］ I come here every day except for Sunday.
［正］ I come here every day except Sunday.
［析］ 在同一类物体中排除某一部分用except, 在不同类物体中排除某一物体时用except for。而except that其后接从句，如：She is a good girl except that she is careless sometimes. 而besides则是"包括在内"，如"我学习英语同时还学法语。"应译为：I study English besides French.
exercise
［误］ The students exercise spoken English in the morning.
［正］ The students practise spoken English in the morning.
［析］ exercise多指运动、训练，而practise则多指把理论付诸于实践的练习。
［误］ Everyone should do exercises every day.
［正］ Everyone should do exercise every day.
［析］ 作为运动讲exercise是不可数名词，而当"练习"、"体操"、"早操"则是可数名词，例如：I do a lot exercises in the P.E. class.
