would like to和want to的區(qū)別
1.would like to do sth是愿意做某事,表示樂意.
而want to do sth 式表示想要做某事表達(dá)一種想法,前者程度更深
2.would like to比I want to更禮貌,一般用于邀請某人做某事.I want to比I would like to更自信.
we'd like to invite leaders in the field as our panelists
3.I want to 通常不表示不可實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望,而I would like to可以
然后I'd like to和I'd like的區(qū)別
I'd like to后面加動詞原形do,表示想要做某事
比如I'd like to go with you.
而I‘d like后面加名詞,表示我想要...(某個東西)

I want+名詞

quite a / rather a 是感嘆語氣.quite / rather 在這里是語氣詞,表示“哈!還真有點(diǎn).”
例如:

rather的用法語此類似.
quite/rather 其后所接名詞若有形容詞修飾, 順序只能為宪祥; quite/rather a(an)+adj+單數(shù)可數(shù)quite/rather a cold day;?
quite/rather后只有名詞時,冠詞a/an順序較為靈活: a rather/quite day 或 ...

mimick 模仿 ape
therefore ? ?since ? hence ? thus
He drank too much, therefore we drove him home.
He drank too much and therefore we drove him home.
這兩句話有前因後果的情況產(chǎn)生
但是使用分號『融痛;』的時候
He drank too much; therefore we drove him home.
這句話的意思就比較有點(diǎn)在表達(dá)兩個不同的行為藉由分號而湊在一起,前因後果的含意就沒有這麼明顯
He must have taken the book since it wasn't there.
此處的 since 要翻成 因?yàn)?= because
accordingly,consequently,hence,so,therefore,thus
這些連接副詞均有“因此,所以”之意神僵。
accordingly書面用詞雁刷,強(qiáng)調(diào)根據(jù)某種原因而得出的結(jié)果,其前可用冒號或分號保礼,但不用逗號沛励。?consequently正式用詞责语,側(cè)重符合邏輯的結(jié)果。
hence較正式用詞目派,指接下來的東西是理所當(dāng)然的必需的東西坤候,但強(qiáng)調(diào)其重要性。?so用于比較隨便的場合企蹭,口語中多用白筹。?therefore通常指引出一個推斷出的必然結(jié)論。?thus多用于書面語中练对,可與therefore換用遍蟋。
Therefore,Thus?螟凭,hence虚青,then,accordingly與So用法辨析
這四個詞的區(qū)別大致可從以下幾方面去看:

He?has?broken?his?leg?and?therefore?he?can't?walk.他摔壞了腿,因此不能走路了淆院。
We?do?not?have?enough?money.?Therefore?we?cannot?afford?to?buy?the?new?car.我們的錢不夠,因此買不成這輛新車何乎。
2、so?conj.?adv因而,?所以,?結(jié)果是
It?was?late,?so?we?went?home.?天晚了,?所以我們就回家去了土辩。???
He?was?sick,?so?they?were?quiet.他病了支救,所以他們很安靜。
3拷淘、hence?adv.因此,?從此
The?town?was?built?among?the?hills,?hence?the?name?Hilltown.?該城鎮(zhèn)修建在群山之中,故取名'山城'各墨。
It?is?very?late;?hence?you?must?go?to?bed.時間已經(jīng)很晚了,因此你必須睡覺去启涯。(記住前面是分號贬堵,而不是逗號)
4、then?adv因此结洼,就
Go?into?the?cave,?then?they?won't?see?you.?躲進(jìn)洞里去黎做,那他們就看不到你了。
