英語動詞是英語學習的重點也是學習的難點，我們不僅要記住動詞的音形義，還要記住動詞的不同時態(tài)變化，而最難掌握的則是動詞的使用方法，很多簡單的動詞如Go，Make，Do等在不同的語境環(huán)境中表達不同的含義，對我們英語學習者來說全面掌握這些常用動詞的基本用法就變得十分重要。我們都知道只要能夠熟練使用3000個常用英語單詞便能夠實現(xiàn)正常的日常工作交流。根據(jù)我國的英語教學大綱要求，我們高中畢業(yè)就能夠達到3000以上的英語詞匯量，但是卻很少有高中生能夠自由無障礙地使用英語交流，因此我們會將英語常用動詞的用法給大家做一個系統(tǒng)總結，讓大家能夠全面掌握這些動詞的使用方法。本期我們將一起來學習一下英語動詞Make 的使用方法。
