Error analysis:
error_sentence: Gao feng is a soccer fans .
correct_sentence: Gao Feng is a soccer fan.
error: feng
correction: Feng
error_type: Case Error
error_severity: 1
error_description: Case Error: According to the Chinese prompt, '高峰' is a name. Following English writing conventions, English names should be separated by spaces and have capitalized initial letters. The original 〈feng〉, used as a name, lacks capitalization; it should be changed to 『Feng』 to comply with English proper noun writing standards.
error_sentence: Gao feng is a soccer fans .
correct_sentence: Gao Feng is a soccer fan.
error: fans
correction: fan
error_type: Noun Number Error
error_severity: 2
error_description: Noun Number Error: The subject 『Gao Feng』 is third-person singular, so the predicate noun following the verb 『is』 should also be singular. Additionally, in the original phrase 〈a soccer fans〉, the indefinite article 〈a〉 modifies a singular countable noun. Therefore, 〈soccer fans〉 contains a noun number error; 〈fans〉 should be changed to 『fan』 to make the sentence grammatically correct.
error_sentence: He has got four soccers.
correct_sentence: He has got four footballs.
error: soccers
correction: footballs
error_type: Noun Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Noun Error: According to English dictionary definitions, 〈soccer〉 is an uncountable noun referring to the sport. To denote the physical object, 『football』 or 'soccer ball' should be used; this indicates a noun choice error. Also, since the number 〈four〉 should be followed by a plural countable noun, 〈soccers〉 should be changed to the plural countable noun 『footballs』 to fit the meaning.
error_sentence: He has some soccer start's photos.
correct_sentence: He has some soccer stars' photos.
error: start's
correction: stars'
error_type: Noun Possessive Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: ① Spelling Error: The context suggests the intended meaning is 'photos of soccer stars', making 〈start〉 a spelling error for 『star』. Since the countable noun 『star』 lacks a determiner before it, it should be pluralized to 『stars』; ② Noun Possessive Error: According to English spelling rules, since 『stars』 already ends in 's', the 's' after the apostrophe 〈'〉 should be omitted in the possessive form. Therefore, the final 's' in 〈start's〉 is omitted, changing 〈start's〉 to 『stars'』 to conform to English writing standards.
error_sentence: But he only watch soccer competiton at home .
correct_sentence: But he only watches soccer competitions at home.
error: watch soccer competiton
correction: watches soccer competitions
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The subject 〈he〉 is third-person singular, but the verb 〈watch〉 does not agree with it. The verb 〈watch〉 should be changed to the third-person singular form 『watches』 to maintain subject-verb agreement; ② Spelling Error: The context indicates the intended meaning is 'soccer competitions', so 〈competiton〉 is a misspelling of 『competition』. 〈competiton〉 needs to be corrected to 『competition』 for clarity; ③ Noun Number Error: Here, 〈soccer competiton〉 refers to 'soccer competitions'. 『competition』 is a countable noun. Since 〈soccer competiton〉 is not preceded by a determiner and it generally refers to 'soccer competitions', the plural form should be used. Therefore, 〈competiton〉 should be changed to the plural form 『competitions』 to fit the context.
error_sentence: Mike and Dave is Gao feng friend.
correct_sentence: Mike and Dave are Gao Feng's friends.
error: is Gao feng friend
correction: are Gao Feng's friends
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 5
error_description: ① Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The subject 〈Mike and Dave〉 is plural, so the third-person singular verb 〈is〉 should be changed to the plural form 『are』 to maintain subject-verb agreement; ② Case Error: According to the Chinese prompt, '高峰' is a name. Following English writing conventions, English names should be separated by spaces and have capitalized initial letters. The original 〈feng〉, used as a name, lacks capitalization; it should be changed to 『Feng』 to comply with English proper noun writing standards; ③ Noun Possessive Error: 〈Gao feng friend〉 aims to express 'Gao Feng's friends'. The possessive form should be used, changing 〈Gao feng〉 to 『Gao Feng's』 to indicate possession; ④ Noun Number Error: Both the subject 〈Mike and Dave〉 and the verb 『are』 are plural, so the predicate noun should also be plural. Thus, 〈friend〉 needs to be changed to 『friends』 to conform to grammatical rules.
error_sentence: Mike like playing basketball.
correct_sentence: Mike likes playing basketball but doesn't like ping-pong.
error: like
correction: likes
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The subject 〈Mike〉 is third-person singular, but the verb 〈like〉 does not agree with it. 〈like〉 needs to be changed to the third-person singular form 『likes』 to maintain subject-verb agreement.
error_sentence: Mike like playing basketball.
correct_sentence: Mike likes playing basketball but doesn't like ping-pong.
error: .
correction: but
error_type: Conjunction Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Conjunction Error: 〈Mike like playing basketball.〉 and 〈doesn't like ping-pong〉 contain independent verbs, but 〈doesn't like ping-pong〉 lacks a subject and cannot stand alone as a sentence, indicating a missing conjunction between the two clauses. Based on the meaning, the two clauses form a compound sentence with a contrasting relationship. The conjunction 〈but〉 should be used to connect the contrasting ideas. Therefore, the original period 〈.〉 should be replaced with 『but』 to link the two sentences with opposite meanings.
error_sentence: he feel that is so boring.
correct_sentence: He feels that it is so boring.
error: he feel that
correction: He feels that it
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Case Error: 〈he〉 is the first word of the sentence and should be capitalized; it is changed to 『He』; ② Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The subject 〈he〉 is third-person singular, but the verb 〈feel〉 does not agree with it. 〈feel〉 needs to be changed to the third-person singular form 『feels』 to maintain subject-verb agreement; ③ Pronoun Error: The object clause introduced by 〈that〉 lacks a subject. The pronoun 〈it〉, referring back to 〈ping-pong〉, needs to be added after 〈that〉 to complete the clause structure, resulting in 『it』.
error_sentence: And Dave like soccer, too.
correct_sentence: And Dave likes soccer, too.
error: like
correction: likes
error_type: Subject-Verb Agreement Error
error_severity: 3
error_description: Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The subject 〈Dave〉 is third-person singular, and the context indicates the present simple tense. Therefore, the verb 〈like〉 does not agree with the subject; it should be changed to the third-person singular form 『likes』 to maintain subject-verb agreement.
error_sentence: The reason why he doesn't like it, that is he fell it difficult.
correct_sentence: The reason why he doesn't like it is that he finds it difficult.
error: , that is he fell
correction: is that he finds
error_type: Sentence Structure Error
error_severity: 4
error_description: ① Sentence Structure Error: 'The reason why... is that...' is a fixed pattern meaning 'the reason for... is...'. The main clause 'The reason...is...' is missing its verb. The unnecessary comma 〈,〉 should be deleted, and 『is』 should be added before 〈that〉 to complete the structure of the predicate clause; ② Verb Choice Error: The context suggests the meaning 'he finds it difficult'. The verb 〈fell〉 ('to drop') does not fit the meaning and should be changed to 『find』 to express the subjective judgment 'finds' or 'thinks'; ③ Verb Tense Error: The context indicates the present simple tense should be used. The past simple tense 〈fell〉 is incorrect. Since the subject 〈he〉 is third-person singular, the corrected verb 『find』 should be in the third-person singular present simple form 『finds』 for grammatical correctness.
