conduct>和perform一樣比較正式，二者意義相近，但conduct含指導(dǎo)、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)或監(jiān)督等意味。

do最普通常用詞，指完成某項(xiàng)具體工作、任務(wù)，也指完成某種行為或動(dòng)作。

execute指需專門技術(shù)、熟練技巧去完成某種復(fù)雜的任務(wù)或表演等，也指用行動(dòng)把計(jì)劃或打算付諸實(shí)施或執(zhí)行某項(xiàng)命令。

fulfil指履行和實(shí)現(xiàn)所許諾的、所期望或要求的事情，含最終完成的意味。

can如果表示體力或智力方面的能力，要用can。can較口語化，比較常用。在表理論上的可能性時(shí)，用can，不用may。另外can一般不能用來表將來的可能性，多用在否定和疑問句中表現(xiàn)在的可能性。

may多用于正式文體，含尊敬之意。并且may既可表現(xiàn)在又可表將來的可能性。
