词语辨析:
1. be able to & can
beable to 和can 都表示“能”，但两者有以下区别：
(1)表示现在或一般能力时，be able to与can可以互换使用。 eg:
Nobody can/is able to solve the problem. 没人能理解这个问题。
(2)can只有现在式和过去式，而be able to 有较多的时态变化。 eg:
He has not been able to come. 他来不了了。
They will be able to do it well. 他们能把这件事情办好。
(3)be able to的过去时表示“经过努力能做成某事”，而could没有这种意思。 eg:
He worked hard at his lessons and was ableto pass the exam.
他努力学习，考试及格了。
(4)在表示猜测时，用can而不用be able to. eg:
That can’t be his book. Myname is on it. 那不可能是他的书。上面有我的名字。
That man can’t be your headmaster. He hasgone to Australia.
那个人不可能是你的校长。他去澳大利亚了。

I hope to be able to pass the exam. 我希望能通过这次考试。
You will pass the exam if you work hard. 如果你学习努力，你就会通过这次考试。
We have been able to read English novels. 我们已经能够读英文小说了。
2. in & after
in 和 after 是介词，都表示“在……之后”，但两者用法不同。in指以现在为起点，句子多用将来时。after 指以过去某一时间为起点，句子多用过去时。after 如后接钟点时，指以现在为起点，句子用将来时。 eg:
Hewill come back in an hour. 一个小时后他将回来。
After half a year, they built another factory. 半年后，他们建了另一家工厂。
Hewill finish the work after two o’clock. 两点后他将完成这件工作。
3. find, look for & find out
find意思是“发现，找到”，强调找的结果；而look for 意思是“寻找”，强调找的过程；find out意思是“查出；查明”，指经过努力查出了事情的真相。 eg:
Thewoman looked for her son everywhere, but she couldn’t find him. She was verysad.
这位妇女到处找她的儿子，但是她没有找到。她非常难过。
Canyou find out when the plane will take off? 你能查一下飞机什么时候起飞吗？
4. when & while
(1)when 与 while 都可以做从属连词，引导时间状语从句，意思是“当……时候”。当从句的谓语动词是延续性动词时，二者可以互换；若从句的谓语动词是终止性动词时，只能用when. eg:
When/While we were talking, the teacher came in. 当我们正说话时，老师走了进来。

当电话响时，他正在听英语。

玛丽写信时孩子都在外面玩儿。
(2) when 和 while 两词还可以作并列连词，但意思不同。when 相当于at that time或just then, 意为“在那时”；而while则相当于but,意为“而；但是”，表示对比关系。eg:
He was just falling asleep when there was a knock at the door.
他就要睡着，就在这时有人敲门。
My mother was sweeping the floor while myfather was reading a report.
我母亲在拖地，而我父亲在看报告。
5. in front of & in/at the front of
infront of指在某一范围外的前面，其反义词为behind。
inthe front of指在某一范围内的前面，其反义词为in /at the back of。 eg:

6. alone, lonely &all by oneself
alone 作形容词意为“单独的”，只能作表语；作副词意为“单独地”、“独自”。lonely 作形容词，意为“孤独的，寂寞的”。all by oneself 独立，单独，有“全靠自己”的意思，有时可与alone互换。 eg:

句型:
1. There will be more people /fewer trees/less pollution.
将会有更多的人/更少的树/更少的污染。
(1) 此句属于There be句型的一般将来时，表示“将来存在……”。
该句型的否定式为：There will not be….
疑问式为：Will there be…?
肯定回答用Yes, there will. 否定回答用 No,there won’t. eg:
There won’t be any fish in theriver. 将来河里就不会有鱼了。
—Will there be less pollution? 将会有更少的污染吗？
—Yes, there will./No, there won’t. There will be more pollution.
是的，会用更少的污染。/不，将来会有更多的污染。
(2)more, fewer, less都是比较级。more 是many/much 的比较级，故more既可以修饰可数名词的复数也可以修饰不可数名词。fewer是few的比较级，所以fewer只能修饰可数名词的复数，而less是little的比较级，只能修饰不可数名词。 eg:
There will be fewer animals in China. 在中国将会用更少的动物。
There will be less money. 将会有更少的钱。
2. Predicting the future can bedifficult. 预测未来可能很困难。

4. For example, it’s easy for a child towake up and know where they are.
例如，让孩子醒来并且知道他们在哪里很容易。
在句型It’s+形容词+of/forsb. to do sth. 中，当形容词描述不定式行为者的性格、品质时，
用介词of，在逻辑上sb与该形容词是主语和表语的关系。形容词若是描述事物的性质时，
用介词for。 eg:

It isn’t good for animalsto stay in cages. 动物总待在笼子里不好。
