英语中，很多表示瞬间意义的系动词，不能与“for＋时间段，since＋时间点，how long until＋时间, by＋时间，so far”等直接连用。例如：不能说“He has become a teacher for 2 years.”应该把它改成“He has been a teacher for 2 years.”

系动词除了接形容词、名词、代词及其短语以及某些副词以外，还可接不少表语形式。比如，look、smell、sound、feel、appear、seem等词能接as if/as though表语从句，如：He looked as if he had just stepped out of my book of fairy tales./She felt as if her head were splitting.

作为系动词时，seem, appear可以用于“It＋系动词＋that从句”结构中，比如：It seemed that he had made some serious mistakes in his work./It appeared that he was talking to himself.（好像他在自言自语。）需要注意的是，be和look是不能用在这种结构中的。

Be, seem, get, look, appear, prove, grow等系动词，可以用不定式作表语。比如：Her job is to look after the children./My advice proved to be wrong./He will grow to like this work gradually.

英文俚语——high tea

High是“高的，奢侈的”的意思，然而high tea并不是“奢侈茶”，或者“高茶”的意思，它真正的意思是“茶点，傍晚茶”。例如：High tea, a term often confused with afternoon tea, usually takes the place of supper.人们常常会把“茶点”和“下午茶”搞混，其实茶点通常相当于晚餐。
