本单元语言点是关于连系动词的用法，在英语中除了 be 外，还有look, feel, seem, sound 等，请看下面的解释和例句

Verbs which take adjectives - look, feel, seem, sound

Verbs, adverbs and adjectives 动词、副词、形容词

A verb is a word which describes an action - for example, walk, work, drive. Adverbs are words which describe how the actions described by verbs are perfomp3ed.

He walked slowly - (How did he walk? Slowly.)

She worked hard - (How did she work? Hard.)

He drives dangerously - (How does he drive? Dangerously.)

Some verbs can be used with adjectives, to give more infomp3ation about the subject of the verb. These verbs function as a link between the adjective and a particular aspect of the subject.

Helen says:

'It's a gorgeous dress, Alice, but the other one seemed nicer.' ('nice' refers to 'the dress')
