英語中,很多表示瞬間意義的系動詞,不能與“for+時間段,since+時間點,how long until+時間, by+時間,so far”等直接連用。例如:不能說“He has become a teacher for 2 years.”應該把它改成“He has been a teacher for 2 years.”

系動詞除了接形容詞、名詞、代詞及其短語以及某些副詞以外,還可接不少表語形式。比如,look、smell、sound、feel、appear、seem等詞能接as if/as though表語從句,如:He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairy tales./She felt as if her head were splitting.

作為系動詞時,seem, appear可以用于“It+系動詞+that從句”結構中,比如:It seemed that he had made some serious mistakes in his work./It appeared that he was talking to himself.(好像他在自言自語。)需要注意的是,be和look是不能用在這種結構中的。

Be, seem, get, look, appear, prove, grow等系動詞,可以用不定式作表語。比如:Her job is to look after the children./My advice proved to be wrong./He will grow to like this work gradually.

High是“高的,奢侈的”的意思,然而high tea并不是“奢侈茶”,或者“高茶”的意思,它真正的意思是“茶點,傍晚茶”。例如:High tea, a term often confused with afternoon tea, usually takes the place of supper.人們常常會把“茶點”和“下午茶”搞混,其實茶點通常相當于晚餐。
