pay的主语一般是人, 基本用法是:
pay +名( 人)+名(款)+(for名)
= pay +名(款)+to名(人)+(for 名)
为了(某事,物)付(款)给(某人)
Did you pay him 100 dollars for that old bike
= Did you pay 100 dollars to him for that old bike

pay for sth. 付……的钱
pay for sb. 替某人付钱

in order to 后接动词原形,表示目的,意思是“为了……”。如:

他起得很早,为了赶上头班车。
He works very hard in order to catch up with others.
为了赶上别人,他努力学习。
3. It is the parents’ job to provide a clean and comfortable …
It为形式主语, 动词不定式to provide … 才是真正的主语。
It is one’s job (duty …) to do sth. 做某事是某人的工作(职责等)
It’s every teacher’s job to explain things clearly to the students. 把东西给学生讲明白是一位老师应该做的。
provide作及物动词,意思为“提供”, 其后可跟双宾语, 即provide sb. sth. 表示“给某人提供某物”,
也可说成provide sb. with sth. 或provide sth. for sb.。
这三种表达法可进行同义句转换。如:
The rich man wants to provide the poor children some necessary books and stationery.
这位有钱人想给贫困的孩子们提供一些必要的书籍和文具。
They provided the visitors with lots of information.
他们为参观者提供了大量的信息。
provide, give都有“给” 的意思,其区别是:
give指无需偿还地把金钱、物品、时间、麻烦等有形或无形的东西“送给、授予、供给”某人;
provide主要指为某人、某物或某事“提供、供应”某物品, 尤指生活必需品。例如:
I would like to give him a chance.
我想给他一个机会。

既然你对此这么有把握,他会相信你的。
Since you can’t answer the question, perhaps we'd better ask someone else.
既然你无法回答这个问题,我们最好再问问别人。
辨析
because, since作连词均含有“因为”之意。
because的语意强,着重直接的原因或理由,所引出的从句是全句的重心,用以回答why提出的问题。
since语意比because弱,一般用于表示“由于大家已知的事实”。
take care of “照看;照顾”,相当于 look after,其后可直接接名词或代词作宾语。
He’s old enough to take care of himself.
他长大了,能照顾自己了。
take care 当心;保重
You must take care in busy city streets.
在繁忙的城市街道上你必须要当心。
8. … how to take care of themselves.

as a result “结果”,后面接的内容表示结果;
as a result of “……的结果,由于”,后面接的内容表示原因,相当于because of。如:

ill adj. 生病的
He looks ill these days.
近来,他气色不好。
ill多与系动词be, feel, become, fall, get, be taken 等搭配,用做表语。
sick & ill
两者都可表示“有病的”:作定语时通常用sick;作表语时可用 ill(英) 或 sick (美)。
如:a sick man 病人 be ill / sick 生病
2. ill 表示“有病的”时,一般不用作定语,但当它表示“坏的(=bad)”、“有害的(= harmful)”等义时,却只能作定语,不能作表语。
如:ill news 坏消息 ill luck 运气不好 ill health 身体不好
辨析
3. 表示“病人”,通常用 the sick (相当于名词 ,具有复数意义),而不用 the ill。
如:They have come to see the sick. 他们已来看望过病人。
the + 比较级 + …, the + 比较级+ … 越 …, 就越…
