dead died
dead是形容词,如:mrs ginty was dead. 而died是动词die的过去式及过去分词,如:

[误] my father bought a new dress for himself yesterday.

[误] the mother dressed the clothes on her child.
[正] the mother dressed her child.
[析] dress作及物动词当"穿衣服"讲时,其后不能接衣服而只能接人,如:the boy is still too young to dress himself. 但作为一种穿着打扮的状态时,则多用其过去分词作形容词,如:
he is not dressed in his new suit.或she is dressed in red. 词组dress up是过节日时应服装整齐,如:
they dressed up for the holiday.
dress h**e on put on wear
要区别这几个动词需分清是表示动作的动词还是表示状态的动词。表示状态的动词是h**e on和wear,如:he has on a white coat.
he was wearing he**y shoes. 而put on则表示穿衣的动作,如:put on your coat,it is cold outside.
而dress即可以作状态又可以作动作,作动作讲时其后面接人而不能接衣服,作穿着状态时则多用dressed的形式。如:i saw a lady dressed in red.

[析] drop in是随便拜访某人,而其后要接人时应加介词on再加人称。
during
[误] during i was sick,i couldn't eat well.
[正] while i was sick,i couldn't eat well.
[析] during后不能接从句,而when和while后可接从句。
[误] i h**e been studying english during three days.
[正] i h**e been studying english for three days.
[析] during不能表达一个动作持续多长的时间,而只能表达在某段时间内某事件的发生。即带有由during引导的时间状语的句子只能用过去时,不能用完成时。
