error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Spelling Error: According to English name writing conventions, 〈Guao〉 is misspelled; the correct spelling should be 『Gao』 to conform to common surname spelling rules; ② Adverb Error: According to English adverb usage rules, the degree adverb 〈very〉 cannot directly modify the verb 〈like〉; it should be replaced with the adverb 『really』, which specifically modifies verbs, forming the correct collocation 『really like』; ③ Subject-Verb Agreement Error: Since the subject is third-person singular, the verb 〈like〉 needs to be changed to the singular form 『likes』, forming the correct subject-verb agreement structure 『Gao ... likes』; ④ Noun Error: The correct English expression for soccer players is 『soccer players』, not “soccerball players”; therefore, it is corrected to conform to standard sports terminology; ⑤ Spelling Error: According to English writing conventions, 〈palyer〉 is misspelled; the correct spelling is “player”, meaning “athlete”; ⑥ Noun Number Error: According to English noun usage rules, when referring generally to a group, the countable noun 〈player〉 should be in the plural form 『players』 to express a category concept rather than a single individual; ⑦ Case Error: According to English sentence structure rules, the first word of a sentence, the pronoun 〈he〉, must be capitalized; therefore, it is corrected to 『He』 to comply with English writing conventions.
error_sentence: he has four soccerball, and he has lots of soccerball star photos.
correct_sentence: He has four soccer balls, and he has lots of soccer stars' photos.
error: soccerball
correction: soccer balls
error_type: Noun Number Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: ① Noun Number Error: According to English grammar rules, the countable noun 〈soccerball〉 needs to be in the plural form when indicating multiple soccer balls, thus the singular form is changed to the plural form 『soccer balls』 (Note: the standard spelling should be two words). This modification satisfies both the pluralization rule for countable nouns and the standard English expression for soccer balls; ② Space Error: According to English compound noun writing conventions, 〈soccerball〉 should be split into two separate words 『soccer ball』 with a space in between. This aligns with the standard naming convention for sports equipment in modern English.
error_sentence: he has four soccerball, and he has lots of soccerball star photos.
correct_sentence: He has four soccer balls, and he has lots of soccer stars' photos.
error: soccerball star
correction: soccer stars'
error_type: Noun Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: ① Noun Error: According to English fixed collocations and sports terminology conventions, 〈soccerball star〉 has a compound noun formation error; the compound noun 〈soccerball star〉 should be changed to the standard expression 『soccer star』, where 『soccer』 is a modifying noun and 『star』 is the head noun; ② Noun Number Error: According to English grammar rules regarding the generic use of nouns, the plural form is required when referring to a class of things; therefore, the singular noun 〈soccer star〉 is changed to the plural form 『soccer stars』 to express the general concept of "soccer stars"; ③ Noun Possessive Error: According to English possessive construction rules, when a plural noun ends in "s", only an apostrophe is added to form the possessive. Therefore, 〈soccerball star〉 is changed to 『soccer stars'』 to correctly express the possessive relationship "soccer stars' (photos)".
error_sentence: but he not play soccerball, he just watch TV soccerball play.
correct_sentence: But he doesn't play soccer, he just watches soccer games on TV.
error: but he not play soccerball
correction: But he doesn't play soccer
error_type: Auxiliary Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Case Error: According to the rule of capitalizing the first letter of a sentence in English writing conventions, the conjunction 〈but〉 should be capitalized when it is at the beginning of a sentence; therefore, the lowercase form 〈but〉 is changed to the capitalized form 『But』 to comply with English punctuation standards; ② Auxiliary Error: According to the rules for forming negative sentences in the third-person singular in English grammar, the negative form of the auxiliary verb "does", which is 『doesn't』, must be used, followed by the base form of the main verb. The original sentence omitted the auxiliary verb, so 『doesn't』 is added to ensure the correct negative structure; ③ Noun Error: In English, sports names are typically used directly after "play" (e.g., play soccer, play basketball, play tennis); "ball" is not needed after 『soccer』.
error_sentence: but he not play soccerball, he just watch TV soccerball play. he has two friends.
correct_sentence: But he doesn't play soccer, he just watches soccer games on TV. He has two friends.
error: watch TV soccerball play. he
correction: watches soccer games on TV. He
error_type: Word Order Error
error_severity: 5
error_description: ① Subject-Verb Agreement Error: According to the English grammar rule for the simple present tense with a third-person singular subject, the subject 〈he〉 is third-person singular, so the verb needs an "-s/-es" ending; therefore, the base form verb 〈watch〉 is changed to 『watches』 to maintain subject-verb agreement; ② Noun Error: 〈soccerball play〉 does not conform to standard English expressions; based on the context, it should mean "soccer games," so it is changed to 『soccer games』 (American English) or 『football matches』 (British English). The more common 『soccer games』 is used here; ③ Word Order Error: The original phrase 〈watch TV soccerball play〉 has incorrect word order and lacks a necessary preposition; according to English expression conventions, it should be adjusted to 『watches soccer games on TV』, where 『on TV』 is a fixed phrase meaning "watch on television"; ④ Case Error: According to English writing conventions, the first letter of the first word in a sentence must be capitalized; therefore, the lowercase 〈he〉 is changed to 『He』 to comply with punctuation rules.
error_sentence: Mike can play basketball, but he can't play ping pong.
correct_sentence: Mike can play basketball, but he can't play ping-pong.
correction: -
error_type: Spelling Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Spelling Error: According to standard English spelling rules, the compound noun 〈ping-pong〉 with a hyphen should be used to mean "table tennis", not the separated form 〈ping pong〉. Therefore, the incorrect spelling 〈ping pong〉 is changed to the standard 『ping-pong』 to maintain the correct lexical form.
error_sentence: Dave can play soccerball, but he can't play basketball.
correct_sentence: Dave can play soccer, but he can't play basketball.
error: soccerball
correction: soccer
error_type: Noun Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Noun Error: In English, sports names are typically used directly after "play" (e.g., play soccer, play basketball, play tennis); "ball" is not needed after 『soccer』, so 〈soccerball〉 is changed to 『soccer』 to conform to English fixed collocations.
