词语辨析
1. each和every都含有“每一个”的意思，但是each指两者或以上的人或物，侧重个体；every指三者或以上的人或物，侧重全体。对两个以上的人或物，特别提及其中的一个时，each比every着重个别的情况；被each修饰的名词一定是单数，不加冠词；作代词时，是单数，可以指人或物；each of…“…中的每一个”，没有every of…。every在句中只能作定语；each在句中作主语、宾语、定语或同位语。each other彼此；互相。every other…每隔一个…
注意：each作名词复数或人称代词we/you/they的同位语时，动词用复数形式；语意上等于 “Each of us/you/them/名词复数＋动词单数形式”。
2. both ⑴pron.两者；双方，用于be动词之后或行为动词之前，常用both of…，e.g. We/You/They both＝Both of us/you/them，e.g. They both like sports.＝Both of them like sports. ⑵adj.两者的，双方的，常用短语both…and… 意思是“…和…都…”，动词用复数形式。e.g. Both you and he are right.
3. busy忙的，繁忙的；繁华的e.g. a busy street一条繁华/繁忙的街道
⑴busy→busier→busiest，busy→business企业；商业；生意，on business出差
  ⑵be busy with sth忙于某事，be busy (in) doing sth忙于做某事(记忆小窍门：因为“忙”表示正在做某事，所以busy之后用动词的ing形式) e.g. They are busy with/doing their homework.
4. open开→close关，open开着的；营业的→closed关闭的；不营业。open/close常指开关门窗、计算机软件等。e.g. ①Close the door. ②Can you tell me how to open the e-dictionary on the computer? ③Hualian Happy-mart is open at 6:30 a.m. and closed at 9:30 p.m.
close还指“靠近的”，“亲密的”。①The park is close to a cinema. ②We are close friends.
〈比较〉turn on/off 开/关(电流、液流、气流等)。①Turn on the TV. ②Turn off the tap.
5. 一周七天的写法：Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
6. maybe＝perhaps大概；或许，通常置于句首。probably很可能
