1. happen與take place

happen與take place 兩者都意為“發(fā)生”，都不能用于被動(dòng)語態(tài)，但它們之間也有差別。

happen指“碰巧發(fā)生”，強(qiáng)調(diào)偶然性，常指事情在人們無意識(shí)、無準(zhǔn)備的情況下發(fā)生。

The accident happened yesterday.

take place意為“發(fā)生，舉行某種活動(dòng)”，指事情按照計(jì)劃發(fā)生。

Many great changes took place in our village last year.

take place作“舉行”講時(shí)，相當(dāng)于hold，hold 有被動(dòng)語態(tài)。

When will the wedding take place？

=When will the wedding be held？

2. just與just now

Ive just finished the work.

She did her homework just now.

注意：just作副詞時(shí)，還可表示“（加強(qiáng)語氣）正好，僅僅，就是”等。

Its just half past nine.

3. living，alive，lively與live
