Errors in the Use of Measure Words

量词的误用

　　　1. 不定量词使用不当

　　Example:

　　Wrong：今天的面条煮点儿硬了。

　　Right：今天的面条煮硬了点儿。

　　When“一点儿”is used in a sentence with an adjective as the complement of result,it can not occur before the complement.“点儿”should be put after “硬”to indicate that the noodles are not soft enough..

　　Example:

　　Wrong：你等我一点，我马上就来。

　　Right：你等我一下儿（一会儿），我马上就来。

　　“一点儿”sometimes follows a verb to imply a moderate degree.In the verb“等”，there exists no question of degree or quantity,but duration of the action.Thus“一点”is impossible here and must be replaced by the verbal measure word“一下儿”or the noun“一会儿” to denote a short time.

　　Example:

　　Wrong：让她们来这里避雨一点儿。

　　Right：让她们来这里避一下儿雨（避一会儿雨）。

　　The verb“避”holds the same property as the verb “等”.“一点儿”should be replaced with“一下儿”or“一会儿”which must occur before the object“雨”since it is a noun.
