经常有学生抱怨自己的语法基础差，写出来的句子总有一种淡淡的违和感。虽然PTE考试不像雅思考试对于写作卡分那么严重，尤其是总差那么0.5分的学生，及时另辟蹊径是很好的选择。然而毕竟它也是考察语言能力的正规考试，还是要尽力避免一些写作上的语法错误。尤其是在Summarize Written Text中，要求考生在10分钟之内完成对200-300字左右的文章的概括，要在规定的字数(5-75)和时间之内已经要求很高了。 重要的事情一定要说 三遍：
关键是还必须是 一句话! 一句话！一句话！
于是，必然的对于你的语法有很高的要求，毕竟我们都知道句子越长，成分越复杂，犯错误的可能性也就越高。
下面就具体说下在写作众容易犯的语法错误
错误1： 一个句中出现两个以上的动词
错例： Students receive job training can become competitive in the labour market.
这个句子中有两个动词，receive和can become，而一句话中应该只有一个谓语动词。于是改正的话就得添加一个从句结构。
Students who receive job training can become competitive in the labour market;
Students can become competitive in the labour market if they receive skills training.
也可利用ing形式：
Students receiving job training can become competitive in the labour market.
错误2： there be句型中谓语没有随名词改变
错例： There is a number of countries which know that they will soon be underwater if global warming is permitted to continue.
这里There be 结构中的主语是countries, 所以谓语动词要用are.
There are a number of countries which know that they will soon be underwater if global warming is permitted to continue.
错误3：主谓不一致
有时在SWT 中大家要会写一些比较复杂的句式，例如插入成分或同谓语成分。在写作 的过程当中，每每遇到以上几种情况的时候，一定要认清主语，所有的补充内容都是针对主要展开的。
例如： Thomas Edison, one of the most distinguished scientists, is a brilliant inventor.
这里在写完第二个逗号的时候，就应该回过头来看看主语Thomas Edison是单数的第三人称，而不能被插入成分中的scientists所蒙蔽。所以这里的谓语要用is 而不是are.
错例： Cardiopathy, coupled with poor diet, lead to severe diabetes.
这就话中主语为cardiopathy, 谓语应该为单三形式。
Cardiopathy, coupled with poor diet, leads to severe diabetes.
错误4：不及物动词和系动词写了被动语态
happen, appear, disappear, rise, emerge, occur, take place 这些词都没有被动语态。
错例： The accident was similar to the one that was happened last year.
改正： The accident was similar to the one that happened last year.
