dread

1.dread（动词）后面接不定式比接动名词普通，如Lily dreads to go out late at night比Lily dreads going out late at night普通。也可以接以lest引导的从句。例如：She dreads lest her baby (should) have a relapse. 但很不通俗。

2.dread用作形容词作“可怕的”或“使人敬畏的”解，现在很不普通，最好改用dreadful。

3.dread（名词）后面可以接以that引导的从句。例如：He has a dread that the weather will prove too much for his old father.

4.in dread后面可以接以lest引导的从句。例如：They were in dread lest a storm (should) destroy their crops. 但很不通俗。
