v
感官动词后面接形容词而不是副词：The cake tastes good; It feels comfortable.

四)有些动词后只跟不定式如：

cause sb to do , permit sb to do, enable sb to do

force sb to do. be more likely to do

五) 有的时候to后面要接-ing形式

accustom (oneself) to; be accustomed to; face up to; in addition to; look forward to; object to; be reduced to; resign oneself to; be resigned to; resort to; sink to; be used to; be alternative to; be close/closeness to; be dedication/dedicated to; be opposition/opposed to; be similarity/similar to.

三、need/want 后的-ing形式具有被动的意思。其中，want不太常用。

He needs (a lot of) encouraging.
