1. lonely
误］she wanted to do her homework lonely.
正］she wanted to do her homework alone
析］lonely意为“寂寞的”、“孤单的”，如：the old man felt lonely. alone则意为“独自的”、“单独的”，如：
he lives alone but he doesn't feel lonely.
2. long
误］i h**e been studying long for the exam.
正］i h**e been studying for a long time for the exam.
析］long用作表达时间的副词时，在否定句及疑问句中最常用，但在肯定句中除与so, too, as ..as连用外，一般要用for a long time.
误］i'll call you as long as the book will be returned.
正］i'll call you as long as the book is returned.
析］as ..as引导的状语从句中可以用一般现在时表示将来。
误］how long do you go to see your parents? once a week.
正］how often do you go to see your parents? once a week.
析］因为答语为每周一次所以问的是频率，要用how often.
3. look
look for, find
look for 侧重于“寻找”这个动作，如：what are you looking for? 而find则侧重于结果，如：
it is very difficult to find a job. 这里不能用look for，因为真正困难的是“找到”工作。
其他用法还有：
例］he often looks back on his high school days.
析］look back on something 为“回顾”、“回想”。
例］i wish you wouldn't look down on (upon) the children's work.
析］look down on (upon) 为“看不起”某人或某事。
误］i'm looking forward to see you.
正］i'm looking forward to seeing you.
析］look forward to词组中的to是介词，所以其后要加名词或动名词，不能接不定式。
4. lot
误］i can buy this dictionary now, because i h**e got much money.
正］i can buy this dictionary now because i h**e got a lot of money.
析］much money多用于疑问句与否定句中，而在肯定句中要用a lot of. lots of 与a lot of之间无多大区别，两者都可以修饰可数与不可数名词，所以常常可以互换。
误］he is more happier now.
正］he is a lot happier now.
析］不可用more来修饰比较级，能修饰比较级的词有very much, a lot, lots, any, no, rather, a little, a bit等。
5. make
误］the little boy was made repeat the whole story.
正］the little boy was made to repeat the whole story.
误］the father made his son to do his homework from morning till night.
正］the father made his son do his homework from morning till night.
析］make 的句型为“make somebody do (doing) something”。但在被动语态中原来被省去的不定式符号to要被还原回来。
误］i always do this mistake.
正］i always make this mistake.
析］英语中do和make是十分不易弄清的两个动词，do常用于谈论工作时或某种不确定的活动时，如：do a f**our（帮个忙），do one's best（竭尽全力），do good（有益），do harm（有害），而多数情况下常用make, 如：make a suggestion, make a cake, make a bed（收拾床），make a noise, make money等等。
误］this wine was made of grapes.
正］this wine was made from grapes.
析］当成品制成后，其原料的性质有所改变时应用make from，否则用make of，如：this door was made of iron.
误］hard work can often make up a lack of intelligence.
正］hard work can often make up for a lack of intelligence.
析］make up是“创造”、“编织”，而make up for是“弥补……的不足之处”。上句应译为“勤奋工作可以弥补天资的不足。”
误］we made up our mind to study hard.
正］we made up our minds to study hard.
析］mind这里是可数名词，使用时要特别予以注意make up one's mind是“下定决心”之意。
误］our class is made of twenty girls and twenty one boys.
正］our class is made up of twenty girls and twenty one boys.
析］make up of ..是“某物由……组成或构成”。
6. many
误］i h**e many friends.
正］i h**e a lot of friends.
析］many和much多用于疑问句或否定句中，而在肯定句中则用处不多，尤其在非正式谈话中。如：
-- how much money h**e you got?
-- i've got plenty.
误］you bought much too tomatoes.
正］you bought too many tomatoes.
析］too many后接可数名词，too much后接不可数名词，而much too后面接形容词，意为“太多”。
误］for many a weeks it rained a lot.
正］for many a week it rained a lot.
析］many a意为“好多”、“许多”，但其后面要加单数名词。
7. matter
误］no matter what you did.
正］no matter what you did, i trusted you.
析］no matter是个词组，意为“不论”，它的语法功能是起连接作用，所以不能用于一个单独的句子。it doesn't matter这个词组则不是一个连接词组，所以可以和一个单句连用，如：it doesn't matter what you say.
（你说什么都不要紧。）
8. maybe
误］may be he is right.
正］maybe he is right.
析］maybe是副词，不要错用为may be.
maybe, perhaps
这两个词的词意一样，maybe常用于非正式谈话，而perhaps则多用在正式文体中。如： maybe / perhaps the weather will get better.
而julius caesar is perhaps the greatest of shakespeare's early plays.
9. mend
误］i want to h**e my bike mended.
正］i want to h**e my bike repaired.
析］mend意为“缝补”，如：my mother mended my coat. 而repair是“修理”。
10. mind
误］could you mind to close the door?
正］could you mind closing the door?
误］try to make up your mind studying hard.
正］try to make up your mind to study hard.
析］mind用作动词时，其后加动名词；而用作名词意为“下定决心”时，其后要加不定式。要注意do you mind if i smoke?的答语：
如果你不介意，应回答“no, go ahead.”如果你不想让对方吸烟，则应讲“yes, please don't.”
