　　like alike ?

　　作为形容词，alike 一般不作定语，而只作表语，如; The twins are very alike.?

　　[误] Would you like swimming with us??

　　[正] Would you like to swim with us??

　　[析] 在would you like这一句型中，其后面只能接不定式，而不能接动名词。?like的用法还要注意以下两点： ① He likes Tom. 为他喜欢汤姆。② He is like Tom. 为他像汤姆。第二句话的like为介词，而第一句话的like为动词。?

　　[正] Tom lives on his parents money.?

　　[析] 因为答语为每周一次所以问的是频率，要用how often.

　　?

　　look ?

　　look for find ?

　　look for 侧重于 寻找这个动作，如： What are you looking for? 而find则侧重于结果，如： It is very difficult to find a job. 这里不能用look for，因为真正困难的是找到工作。?

　　其他用法还有：?

　　[例] He often looks back on his high?school days.?

　　[析] look back on something 为回顾、回想。?

　　[例] I wish you wouldnt look down on (upon) the childrens work.?

　　[析] look down on (upon) 为看不起某人或某事。?

　　[误] Im looking forward to see you.?

　　[正] Im looking forward to seeing you.?

　　[析] look forward to词组中的to是介词，所以其后要加名词或动名词，不能接不定式。

?

　　lot ?

　　[误] I can buy this dictionary now, because I have got much money.?

　　[正] I can buy this dictionary now because I have got a lot of money.?

　　[析] much money多用于疑问句与否定句中，而在肯定句中要用a lot of.?lots of与a lot of之间无多大区别，两者都可以修饰可数与不可数名词，所以常常可以互换。?

　　[误] He is more happier now.?

　　[正] He is a lot happier now.?

　　[析] 不可用more来修饰比较级，能修饰比较级的词有very much, a lot, lots, any, no, rather, a little, a bit等。?

　　loud loudly ?

　　这两个词含意相同，在日常用语中loud多与talk，speak, shout, laugh等动词连用，如：Dont speak so loud， youll wake the baby. 而在比较正式的场合才用loudly.?

　　loud aloud ?

　　loud多指把声音放大，而aloud则指要出声不要默读。如：?-What did you say??-Oh, nothing, I was just think aloud. (我只不过自言自语。)?
