Errors in the Use of Verbs 动词的误用
Improper use of intransitive verbs 不带宾语的动词使用不当
1.旅行　travel
Example
　　Wrong：我想明年再旅行中国。
　　Right：我想明年再来中国旅行。
　　“旅行”,meaning to go to a distant place for sight-seeing, is incapable of taking objects. Two proper substitutes for “旅行中国”are “来中国旅行”which are both verbal constructions in series.

2.旅游　travel
Example
　　Wrong：去年暑假我们旅游了西藏。
　　Right：去年暑假我们到西藏去旅游了。
　　“旅游”means to travel and tour. Similar to “旅行”in usage, it does not take objects either. “旅游”can form set phrases with some nouns, e.g. 旅游商品,旅游车,旅游鞋,旅游点.
