Errors in the Use of Measure Words

量词的误用

　　　1. 不定量词使用不当

　　Example:

　　Wrong：我会说汉语一点儿。

　　Right：我会说一点儿汉语。

　　“（一）点儿” is an indefinite measure word showing a small quantity. It may be before nouns.

　　“一点儿”in the sentence should be placed before “汉语”to mean that the speaker can only speak a little Chinese.

　　Example:

　　Wrong：他比我一点儿高。

　　Right：他比我高一点儿。

　　Used in a comparative sentence with “比”，“一点儿”shows that the difference between the two compared elements is very slight.It should go after“高”to serve as a complement of quantity.

　　Example:

　　Wrong：哥哥新买的皮鞋一点儿小，送给我了。

　　Right：哥哥新买的皮鞋小一点儿，送给我了。

　　“一点儿”may not precede the predicate adjective of a sentence.One should place“一点儿”after“小”.Here,the judgement is made through comparison with the shoes that fit the feet of the speaker's brother.
