misunderstand

misunderstand后面不可接以that引导的从句，如不可说Tom misunderstands that she is afraid of him. 该改作Tom misunderstands her to be afraid of him或Tom wrongly thinks that she is afraid of him。往往只用think而不用wrongly也能表示“误解”的意思，如The baby threw the pear to the nurse, thinking that it was a ball里不必在thinking前面加上wrongly。
