living alive
living侧重于生活得很好，身体不错，如： My grandfather is still living in his eighties. 而alive则强调没有死而是活着的，如： Is that cat alive or dead?
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.
long
[误] I have been studying long for the exam.
[正] I have 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.
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 highschool 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。
lot
[误] I can buy this dictionary now, because I have got much money.
[正] I can buy this dictionary now because I have 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。
loud loudly
这两个词含意相同，在日常用语中loud多与talk，speak, shout, laugh等动词连用，如：Don't speak so loud， you'll wake the baby. 而在比较正式的场合才用loudly.
loud aloud
loud多指把声音放大，而aloud则指要出声不要默读。如：-What did you say?-Oh, nothing, I was just think aloud. (我只不过自言自语。) |
