puzzle表示“行为情况、问题或某种现象错宗复杂,使人感到困惑伤脑筋”,因而不知道该怎么解决。一般作及物动词,也可以作名词,表示“难题,字谜,疑虑,谜团”等。

I know that Chinese is a vey difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. (教材P14)
【辨析】
两者都是“希望”的意思,都可作名词和动词,用法有相同的地方,但也一定的区别。
①hope和wish后面都可以接不定式,作“想; 希望”讲,不同点在于: wish后可接 “宾语+不定式” 复合结构,而hope不能。即:wish/hope to do sth. 想/希望做某事; wish sb. to do sth. 希望某人做某事
②hope和wish后面都可以接从句。接从句时,hope 表示有可能实现的愿望,而wish表示不太可能实现的愿望。wish后的从句要用虚拟语气
③wish后面可以跟双宾语,表示“祝愿”; hope没有这种用法
④hope 常构成如下机构:be beyond hope (of )没有(….的)希望; in the hope of/in hopes that /in the hope that怀着…..的希望
【例句呈现】

manage to do sth. “设法做成某事”,强调所做事情的结果,相当于succeed in doing sth. 或be successful in doing sth.

【辨析】
主语 + used to do sth. 表示“过去常常”,说明过去经常发生的动作或存在的状态,但现在已经不那样做或已经不存在了。其中的to是不定式符号,后面要接动词原形。它只有过去式一种形式,可以用于所有人称。
主语 + be/get used to sth./doing sth. 表示“习惯于做某事”,to是介词,后面接名词、代词或动名词,be是系动词,可以用于过去、现在、将来的多种时态, 还可以用get, become等词来代替。
主语 + be used to do sth. =主语 + be used for doing sth. 表示“被用来做某事”,是use sth. to do sth. 和use sth. for doing sth.的被动结构。
温馨提示:
①used to do sth. 的疑问式为Did … use to … 或Used … to … 构成;否定式为didn’t use to do sth. 或 usedn’t to do sth.
