1. My friend Mary was wounded in a car accident. 我的朋友瑪麗在一場車禍中受傷了。

2. That old man always puts on a grey shirt. 那位老先生總是穿著灰色的襯衫。

3. He is using a pencil to paint a map on a piece of paper. 他正用鉛筆在紙上畫著地圖。

4. Mrs. Wang wishes it will be rainy tomorrow, so that Mr. Wang will stay at home. 王太太希望明天下雨，如此一來王先生就會待在家裡哪兒也不去。

5. Everyone likes Henry very much besides me. 除了我以外，每個人都很喜歡亨利。

2. That old man always wears a grey shirt.
put on是指穿上衣服的「動作」，wear則是穿著衣服的「狀態」。

3. He is using a pencil to draw a map on a piece of paper.
paint是指用顏料畫，draw則是指素描，例句中的地圖是用鉛筆畫成，故應該用draw取代paint。

4. Mrs. Wang hopes it will be rainy tomorrow, so that Mr. Wang will stay at home.
hope和wish雖然都譯作「希望」，但用法大不相同：前者的「希望」有可能實現，後者則幾乎不可能。例：I wish I can fly.

5. Everyone likes Henry very much except for me.
besides所接的受詞，情況與句中所述相同，except所接的受詞則是被排除在外。錯誤句中，所有人都喜歡亨利，只有我不喜歡，所以要用except。
