Thank you for all the compliments. The truth is that I am a teacher only on the forums.

By the way, does it work if I use repetition in studying new verbs?
|
Repetition is an important learning tool, so yes, I recommend it. Repetition is a way we have of telling our brains that something is important to remember. :)

It's said that its rather hard to study verbs full of various forms and with phrases in English.
|
Yes, every verb tends to "partner" with other words to create verb phrases. The same ones tend to be used over and over. Context is, of course, quite important. The same word or phrase used in a different context has a different meaning. In takes practice in usage to train our brains to know what word or phrase to use in what context.
To learn something you should (1) read it; (2) hear it; (3) write it; and (4) speak it. Each one reinforces the other.

So could you give me another example on verbs?

Would you please elaborate on that?

At the secondary posting, I noticed you changed " lucy(in eager to
make it)" into "Lucy(an eager beaver)", then i looked up BEAVER from
dictionary, which means " a fur-coated animal that lives both on land
and in water", it seems mean nothing with me, doesnot it? I guess
that must be something inside, right?

It's an American expression. An "eager beaver" is someone who is enthusiastic about something. such a person doesn't need any external motivation.

(BTW, what's the difference between 'infectious' and 'contagious'?
I could not make it clear when both of them are used to describe
disease and laughter)
|
Medically speaking,
infectious and
contagious are two different things. Laughter can be contagious but not, I think, infectious.
