动词包括连系动词、及物动词和不及物动词、持续性动词与非持续性动词，是高考考查的重点，无论是单项填空还是完形填空等题型中，动词辨析的比重都很大，并有逐年增加的趋势。动词辨析主要指：
1.词形相近的动词之间的辨析。如：lie，lay；rise，raise；sit，seat等。
2.意义相近的动词之间的辨析。如：borrow，lend；speak，say，talk；hope，wish等。
3.动词与其他词形相近、意义相似的词的辨析。如：advise，advice；cost，worth；pass，past 等。
4.意义不同但容易混淆的动词的辨析。如：explain，say；discover，invent；uncover，find等。
5.某些常用动词的习惯用法的辨析。如：ask，give，call，make，get，keep，want，see，hear等。
6.某些常用动词短语的辨析。如：give in，give up；turn on，turn off，turn down，turn up等。

动词短语的核心考点
动词短语是指动词和介词、副词或名词的习惯搭配。需掌握以下要点：
1.根据动词短语的不同特点，掌握其运用规律。
(1)动词＋副词(不及物)
Tom turned up after the party when everyone had left.
(2)动词＋副词(及物)
Please turn every light in the house off.
注意：①如果宾语较长，就应避免把副词同动词分开。
She turned off all the lights which had been left on.
②如果宾语是人称代词，只能放在动词和副词之间。
She gave them away.
(3)动词＋介词(及物)
You should learn to care about others.
注意：当它跟宾语时，不能把介词放在宾语后面。
(4)动词＋副词＋介词
I look forward to seeing you soon.
注意：“动词＋介词”、“动词＋名词＋副词”、“动词＋副词＋介词”，这三种搭配都是及物的，如变成被动语态，不可漏掉介词。
In this way both grain and vegetables can be well looked after. (不能漏掉after)
