give
1.注意下列各句的结构：
- I shall give you a book. I shall give a book to you.
- You will be given a book. A book will be given you.
- A book will be given to you.
把it代a book也通。I shall give you it远不及I shall give it to you普通。在英国往往说give it you, give it me, give it him等，在美国通常说give it to you等。
2.give(n)在用作devote(d)或addict(ed)解的时候后面接to和名词或动名词，不接不定式，如可以说He gives his life to (serving) the cause of world peace和He is much given to exaggeration（或exaggerating）。不可说He gives his life to serve the cause of world peace或He is much given to exaggerate。
3.give of作“给出…的一部分”解，如He gave of his best和She is generous in giving of her time to help her neighbours。
4.They put up at the village and gave (it) out that they had come on a fishing holiday里的gave out作“向人家说”解，往往有“所说不一定可靠”的含意，那it可以省去。
5.Give up smoking at once! 和Give over smoking at once! 都是“立刻戒烟！”
