動詞是英語學習的關鍵.這是我堅信不疑的教學原則.你是否敢說，英語中常見動詞你都能分清其用法?該動詞是及物還是不及物?大概沒有人敢這樣說大話吧!我建議你在學習英語中，每遇到動詞，應該多一個心眼，看一看它的詞類，最好還查一查它的各種用法.一般說來，你最好做到"七分清".就是：分清及物還是不及物;分清表結果還是表動作;分清連系動詞是表狀態還是表變化;分清表主觀與客觀的動詞;分清是瞬間動詞還是延續性動詞;分清表直接與表間接的動詞;分清多字動詞的用法.關于這"七分清"
當然學習英語詞匯也是有訣竅的.比如說一個詞有多種含義，還有近意詞之間的比較.我就把要比較的，要區別的用法，用一個句子來表述，及記住了它們的意義又弄清了它們的區別，且朗朗上口，何樂而不為呢!現略舉一例以示說明：
【例1】I saw a saw saw a saw.
在該句中有四個saw.第一個是謂語動詞的過去式，意為"看見"講;第二和第四個是名詞，意為"鋸子"講;第三個是動詞原形，不定式作賓語不足語，意為"鋸".整個句子意為：我看見一把鋸子鋸了一把鋸子.你讀出來更有趣，又押韻又記住了兩個不同意義的動詞和一個名詞.有趣不?
【例2】My father always says, "You ’shall ’ and I always song ’I will’".
在這個句子中，就把情態動詞的用法區別得清清楚楚!譯成漢語：老爸總是說，"你應該"，而我總是說，"我愿意."
【例3】Crusoe was alone on the lonely island, but he didn’t feel lonely.
在這個句子中，兩個形容詞意義相近，alone 表示"單獨，一個人"，lonely表示"偏僻的，荒涼的，孤獨的"，有濃厚的感情色彩.用這一句話不就涇渭分明了嗎?
